1 God stondeth in the congregacion of the goddes, & is a iudge amonge the iudges.

2 How longe wil ye geue wroge iudgment, & accepte the personnes of the vngodly?

3 Sela. Defende the poore & fatherlesse, se that soch as be in nede & necessite haue right.

4 Delyuer the outcaste & poore, & saue hym from the hande of the vngodly.

5 Neuertheles, they wil not be lerned & vnderstonde, but walke on still in darcknesse: therfore must all the foundacions of the londe be moued.

6 I haue sayde: ye are goddes, ye all are the childre of ye most hyest.

7 But ye shal dye like men, & fall like one of the tyrauntes.

8 Aryse (o God) & iudge thou the earth, for all Heithen are thine by enheritaunce.
