A PSALM OF ASAPH. God has stood in the congregation of God, He judges among the gods.

2 Nangcae loe kasae kaminawk to nang sak o haih moe, katoeng ai ah nasetto maw lok na caek o han vop? (Selah)

Until when do you judge perversely? And lift up the face of the wicked? (Selah)

3 Amtang kami hoi ampa tawn ai kaminawk to abom oh; amtang kami hoi patangkhang kaminawk khaeah toenghaih hoiah lokcaek ah.

Judge the weak and fatherless, Declare the afflicted and the poor righteous.

4 Amtang kami hoi kangaih kaminawk to pahnawt hmah; kasae kami ban thung hoiah pahlong ah.

Let the weak and needy escape, Deliver them from the hand of the wicked.

5 Nihcae loe tidoeh panoek o ai, panoek thaihaih doeh tawn o ai; kaving thungah amkaeh o; long ohhaih ahmuennawk boih loe cak ai.

They did not know, nor do they understand, They habitually walk in darkness, All the foundations of earth are moved.

6 Kai mah, Nangcae loe long sithaw ah na oh o; nangcae loe Kasang koek ih caa ah na oh o, tiah ka thuih.

I have said, “You [are] gods, And sons of the Most High—all of you,

7 Toe nangcae loe kaminawk baktiah na dueh o ueloe, ukkung minawk kalah baktiah ni nam tim o toeng tih.

But you die as man, and you fall as one of the heads.”

8 Aw Sithaw, angthawk ah loe, long hae lokcaek ah; long kaminawk boih loe nang ih qawktoep kami ah ni oh o.

Rise, O God, judge the earth, For You have inheritance among all the nations!
