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.
