English Standard Version (ESV)

Back to Bible
1 ⓐⓑ Godⓒ has taken his place in the divine council; in the midst ofⓓ the gods heⓔ holds judgment:
2 “How long will you judge unjustly andⓕ show partiality toⓖ the wicked? Selah
3 ⓗ Give justice toⓘ the weak and the fatherless; ⓙmaintain the right of the afflicted and the destitute.
4 ⓚ Rescue the weak and the needy; ⓛdeliver them from the hand of the wicked.”
5 ⓜ They have neither knowledge nor understanding, ⓝthey walk about in darkness; ⓞall the foundations of the earth areⓟ shaken.
6 ⓠ I said, “You are gods, sons of the Most High, all of you;
7 nevertheless, like menⓡ you shall die, and fall like any prince.”[1]
8 ⓢ Arise, O God, judge the earth; for you shallⓣ inherit all the nations!
