they wander in the darkness;
all the foundations of the earth are shaken.

you are all sons of the Most High.’a
6I said, ‘You are gods, and all of you sons of the Most High.’
7But like mortals you will die,
and like rulers you will fall.”

for all the nations are Your inheritance.
8Rise up, O God, and judge the earth! For You have an inheritance among all the nations.
