## God Stands in Judgment 

###### 1
God takes His stand in the congregation of God; He judges in the midst of gods. 

###### 2
How long will you judge unrighteously And show partiality to the wicked? Selah. 

###### 3
Give justice to the poor and the orphan; Justify the afflicted and destitute. 

###### 4
Protect the poor and needy; Deliver _them_ out of the hand of the wicked. 

###### 5
They do not know and do not understand; They walk about in darkness; All the foundations of the earth are shaken. 

###### 6
I said, "You are gods, And all of you are sons of the Most High. 

###### 7
Nevertheless you will die like men And you will fall like _any_ one of the princes." 

###### 8
Arise, O God, judge the earth! For it is You who will inherit all the nations.
