1A Psalm of Asaph. God standeth in the congregation of God; He judgeth among the gods.
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.
2How long will ye judge unjustly, And respect the persons of the wicked? Selah
2Kia pehea ake te roa o ta koutou whakawa he, o ta koutou whakapai ki nga kanohi o te hunga kino. (Hera.
3Judge the poor and fatherless: Do justice to the afflicted and destitute.
3Whakatikaia ta te ware, ta te pani: kia tika te whakawa mo te ngakau mamae, mo te rawakore.
4Rescue the poor and needy: Deliver them out of the hand of the wicked.
4Whakaorangia te ware me te rawakore; tangohia mai ratou i te ringa o te tangata kino.
5They know not, neither do they understand; They walk to and fro in darkness: All the foundations of the earth are shaken.
5Kahore o ratou matauranga, kakore hoki e mahara; e kopikopiko noa ana ratou i te pouri; e oioi ana nga turanga katoa o te whenua.
6I said, Ye are gods, And all of you sons of the Most High.
6¶ I mea ahau, He atua koutou, he tama katoa na te Runga Rawa.
7Nevertheless ye shall die like men, And fall like one of the princes.
7Heoi ka pera koutou me te tangata, ka mate; ka hinga, ka pera me tetahi o nga piriniha.
8Arise, O God, judge the earth; For thou shalt inherit all the nations.
8E ara, e te Atua, whakawakia te whenua: mou hoki nga tauiwi katoa.
