In gods' assembly God doth stand; he judgeth gods among. How long, accepting persons vile, will ye give judgment wrong? Defend the poor and fatherless; to poor oppress'd do right. The poor and needy ones set free; rid them from ill men's might. They know not, nor will understand; in darkness they walk on: All the foundations of the earth out of their course are gone. I said that ye are gods, and are sons of the Highest all: But ye shall die like men, and as one of the princes fall. O God, do thou raise up thyself, the earth to judgment call: For thou, as thine inheritance, shalt take the nations all.
