Wycliffe's English Translation (1388)
Wyc
[1] God standeth in the congregation of God: he iudgeth in the midst of God [1]The title of the two and eiytetithe salm. The song of the salm of Asaph.
[2]Howe long wyll ye geue wrong iudgement: and accept the persons of the vngodly? Selah [2]God, who schal be lijk thee? God, be thou not stille, nether be thou peesid.
[3]Iudge ryght vnto the poore and fatherlesse: dispatch according to iustice suche as be afflicted and in necessitie [3]For lo! thin enemyes sowneden; and thei that haten thee reisiden the heed.
[4]Deliuer the poore and outcast: saue them from the hande of the vngodly [4]Thei maden a wickid counsel on thi puple; and thei thouyten ayens thi seyntis.
[5]They knowe nothyng, they vnderstande nothing: they walke on styll in darknesse, [wherfore] all the foundations of the earth be out of course [5]Thei seiden, Come ye, and leese we hem fro the folk; and the name of Israel be no more hadde in mynde.
[6]I haue sayde ye are gods: and ye all are chyldren of the most highest [6]For thei thouyten with oon acord;
[7]But ye shall dye lyke as a man [doth:] and princes them selues shall fall away lyke as other [do. [7]the tabernaclis of Ydumeys, and men of Ismael disposiden a testament togidere ayens thee. Moab, and Agarenus, Jebal, and Amon, and Amalech;
[8]Arise O God, and iudge thou the earth: for thou shalt take all Heathen to thine inheritaunce [8]alienys with hem that dwellen in Tyre.
