Arise, O God, and rule the earth, for you shall take all nations for your own.
1. God takes his stand in the council of heaven; he gives judgment in the midst of the gods:
2. "How long will you judge unjustly, and show favor to the wicked?
3. Save the weak and the orphan; defend the humble and needy;
4. Rescue the weak and the poor; deliver them from the power of the wicked.
Arise, O God, and rule the earth, for you shall take all nations for your own.
5. They do not know, neither do they understand; they go about in darkness; all the foundations of the earth are shaken.
6. Now I say to you, 'You are gods, and all of you children of the Most High;
7. Nevertheless, you shall die like mortals, and fall like any prince.'"
Arise, O God, and rule the earth, for you shall take all nations for your own.
