| 1. | 1 God is in his congregation; Judge among the gods he stands. 2 How long will you judge unjustly, favoring the wicked hands? |
| 2. | 3 Judge the destitute and orphan, and the poor, distressed defend; 4 free the destitute and needy; save them from the wicked's hand. |
| 3. | 5 These are they who have no knowledge,to perceive no effort make; they walk on in utter darkness; all of earth's foundations shake. |
| 4. | 6 Gods you are, I have declared it, sons now of the Highest, all; 7 yet you'll die as common men die and like any prince shall fall. |
| 5. | 8 Now, O God, arise we pray you,and the earth to judgment call; For you, as your own possession, shall inherit nations all. |

verse 2 translates a Hebrew word as orphan but a closer English word is fatherless. I bring this up because, yes, there are orphans in need, but even more filling the West and the world are the fatherless.
Looking again that is verse 3.
Here's a CM version for verse 3
“Defend and vindicate the weak, those who are fatherless;
Maintain the rights of those in need, and those who are oppressed.
