1 [A Psalm of Asaph.] God standeth in the assembly of *God, he judgeth among the gods.

2 How long will ye judge unrighteously, and accept the person of the wicked? Selah.

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

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

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

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

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

8 Arise, O God, judge the earth; for *thou* shalt inherit all the nations.

1 He himene na Ahapa. E tu ana te Atua i roto i te whakaminenga o te Atua, e whakawa ana i waenganui i nga atua.

2 Kia pehea ake te roa o ta koutou whakawa he, o ta koutou whakapai ki nga kanohi o te hunga kino. (Hera.

3 Whakatikaia ta te ware, ta te pani: kia tika te whakawa mo te ngakau mamae, mo te rawakore.

4 Whakaorangia te ware me te rawakore; tangohia mai ratou i te ringa o te tangata kino.

5 Kahore o ratou matauranga, kakore hoki e mahara; e kopikopiko noa ana ratou i te pouri; e oioi ana nga turanga katoa o te whenua.

6 I mea ahau, He atua koutou, he tama katoa na te Runga Rawa.

7 Heoi ka pera koutou me te tangata, ka mate; ka hinga, ka pera me tetahi o nga piriniha.

8 E ara, e te Atua, whakawakia te whenua: mou hoki nga tauiwi katoa.
