4 Rescue the lowly and poor; deliver them from the hand of the wicked."	4 Rescue the poor; and deliver the needy out of the hand of the sinner.
5 The gods neither know nor understand, wandering about in darkness, and all the world's foundations shake.	5 They have not known nor understood: they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth shall be moved.
6 I declare: "Gods though you be, offspring of the Most High all of you,	6 I have said: You are gods and all of you the sons of the most High.
7 Yet like any mortal you shall die; like any prince you shall fall."	7 But you like men shall die: and shall fall like one of the princes.
8 Arise, O God, judge the earth, for yours are all the nations.	8 Arise, O God, judge thou the earth: for thou shalt inherit among all the nations.
