  1 - Judgeth among the gods Apparently the heathen gods as protrayed by Satan
  2 - Judge unjustly Could well apply to corrupt government today.
 3  Defend the poor and fatherless: do justice to the afflicted and needy.
 4  Deliver the poor and needy: rid them out of the hand of the wicked.
 5  They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are out of course.
-
6 ¶ I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High.
 7  But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes.
 8  Arise, O God, judge the earth: for thou shalt inherit all nations.
  6  - Ye are gods A picture of those who attempt to judge true divinity. Inspired for Christ to confront His accusers. jn1034.
