8 Brenton verses
How long will ye judge unrighteously, and accept the persons of sinners? Pause.
Ἕως πότε κρίνετε ἀδικίαν, καὶ πρόσωπα ἁμαρτωλῶν λαμβάνετε; διάψαλμα.
Judge the orphan and poor: do justice to the low and needy.

Rescue the needy, and deliver the poor out of the hand of the sinner.
Εξέλεσθε πένητα, καὶ πτωχὸν ἐκ χειρὸς ἁμαρτωλοῦ ῥύσασθε.
They know not, nor understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth shall be shaken.
Οὐκ ἔγνωσαν οὐδὲ συνῆκαν, ἐν σκότει διαπορεύονται· σαλευθήσονται πάντα τὰ θεμελια τῆς γῆς.
I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you children of the Most High.
Ἐγὼ εἶπα, θεοί ἐστε, καὶ υἱοὶ ὑψίστου πάντες.
But ye die as men, and fall as one of the princes.
Ὑμεῖς δὲ ὡς ἄνθρωποι ἀποθνήσκετε, καὶ ὡς εἷς τῶν ἀρχόντων πίπτετε.
Arise, O God, judge the earth: for thou shalt inherit all nations.
Ἀνάστα ὁ Θεὸς, κρῖνον τὴν γῆν, ὅτι σὺ κατακληρονομήσεις ἐν πᾶσι τοῖς ἔθνεσιν.
