Bible in Basic English
1God is in the meeting-place of God; he is judging among the gods.
2How long will you go on judging falsely, having respect for the persons of evil-doers? (Selah.)
3Give ear to the cause of the poor and the children without fathers; let those who are troubled and in need have their rights.
4Be the saviour of the poor and those who have nothing: take them out of the hand of the evil-doers.
5They have no knowledge or sense; they go about in the dark: all the bases of the earth are moved.
6I said, You are gods; all of you are the sons of the Most High:
7But you will come to death like men, falling like one of the rulers of the earth.
8Up! O God, come as judge of the earth; for all the nations are your heritage.
Reina-Valera 1909
1Salmo de Asaph. DIOS está en la reunión de los dioses; en medio de los dioses juzga.
2¿Hasta cuándo juzgaréis injustamente, y aceptaréis las personas de los impíos? (Selah.)
3Defended al pobre y al huérfano: haced justicia al afligido y al menesteroso.
4Librad al afligido y al necesitado: libradlo de mano de los impíos.
5No saben, no entienden, andan en tinieblas: vacilan todos los cimientos de la tierra.
6Yo dije: Vosotros sois dioses, é hijos todos vosotros del Altísimo.
7Empero como hombres moriréis, y caeréis como cualquiera de los tiranos.
8Levántate, oh Dios, juzga la tierra: porque tú heredarás en todas las gentes.
King James Version
1God standeth in the congregation of the mighty; he judgeth among the gods.
2How long will ye judge unjustly, and accept the persons of the wicked? Selah.
3Defend the poor and fatherless: do justice to the afflicted and needy.
4Deliver the poor and needy: rid them out of the hand of the wicked.
5They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are out of course.
6I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High.
7But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes.
8Arise, O God, judge the earth: for thou shalt inherit all nations.
