| 2 | “How long will you hand down unjust decisions by favoring the wicked? Interlude | “How long will you judge unjustly and show partiality to the wicked? Selah | “How long will you defend the unjust and show partiality to the wicked? | |
| 3 | “Give justice to the poor and the orphan; uphold the rights of the oppressed and the destitute. | Give justice to the weak and the fatherless; maintain the right of the afflicted and the destitute. | Defend the weak and the fatherless; uphold the cause of the poor and the oppressed. | |
| 4 | Rescue the poor and helpless; deliver them from the grasp of evil people. | Rescue the weak and the needy; deliver them from the hand of the wicked.” | Rescue the weak and the needy; deliver them from the hand of the wicked. | |
| 5 | But these oppressors know nothing; they are so ignorant! They wander about in darkness, while the whole world is shaken to the core. | They have neither knowledge nor understanding, they walk about in darkness; all the foundations of the earth are shaken. | “The ‘gods’ know nothing, they understand nothing. They walk about in darkness; all the foundations of the earth are shaken. | |

| 7 | But you will die like mere mortals and fall like every other ruler.’” | nevertheless, like men you shall die, and fall like any prince.” | But you will die like mere mortals; you will fall like every other ruler.” | |
| 8 | Rise up, O God, and judge the earth, for all the nations belong to you. | Arise, O God, judge the earth; for you shall inherit all the nations! | Rise up, O God, judge the earth, for all the nations are your inheritance. | |
