1 God standeth in the congre- | 3 gation of | princes; ||

3 he | is a | Judge a•mong | gods. ||

2 How long will 3 ye | give wrong | judgment, ||

and ac- | cept the | persons • of the un- | godly? ||

3 Defend the | poor and | father•less; ||

see that such as are in | need • and ne- | cessi•ty have | right. ||

4 Deliver the | 3 outcast and | poor; ||

3 save | them • from the | hand of • the un- | godly. ||

5 They will not be learned nor understand, * but walk on | still in | darkness: ||

all the foundations of the | earth are | out of | course. ||

5 They know not, neither do they understand, * but walk on | still in | darkness: ||

all the foundations of the | earth are | out of | course. ||

6 I have | said, • Ye are | gods, ||

and ye are all the | children | of the • Most | Highest. ||

7 But ye shall | die like | men, ||

and | fall like | 3 one of • the | princes. ||

8 Arise, O God, and | judge • thou the | earth; ||

for thou shalt take all | 3 heathen to | thine in- | heri•tance. ||

8 Arise, O God, and | judge • thou the | earth; ||

for thou shalt take all | 3 nations to | thine in- | heri•tance. ||

Glory | be • to the | Father, ||

and to the Son, | and • to the | Holy | Ghost; ||

As it | was in • the be- | ginning, ||

is now, and ever shall be, * | world with•out | end. A- | men. ||
