2  'How long will ye judge unjustly, and respect the persons of the wicked? Selah

2  How long will you judge unjustly and favor the faces of sinners?

3  Judge the poor and fatherless; do justice to the afflicted and destitute.

3  Judge the orphan and poor: do justice to the low and needy.

3  Judge for the indigent and the orphan. Do justice to the humble and the poor.

4  Rescue the poor and needy; deliver them out of the hand of the wicked.

4  Deliver the poor and needy out of the hand of the wicked.

5  They know not, neither do they understand; they go about in darkness; all the foundations of the earth are moved.

5  They did not know and did not understand. They wander in darkness. All the foundations of the earth will be moved.

6  I said: Ye are godlike beings, and all of you sons of the Most High.

6  I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you children of the Most High.

7  Nevertheless ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes.'

7  But ye die as men, and fall as one of the princes.

7  But you will die like men, and you will fall just like one of the princes.

8  Arise, O God, judge the earth; for Thou shalt possess all nations.

8  Rise up, O God. Judge the earth. For you will inherit it with all the nations.
