A Psalm by Asaph.
1
God presides in the great assembly.
He judges among the gods.
2
“How long will you judge unjustly,
and show partiality to the wicked?” Selah.
3
“Defend the weak, the poor, and the fatherless.
Maintain the rights of the poor and oppressed.
4
Rescue the weak and needy.
Deliver them out of the hand of the wicked.”
5
They don’t know, neither do they understand.
They walk back and forth in darkness.
All the foundations of the earth are shaken.
6
I said, “You are gods,
all of you are sons of the Most High.
7
Nevertheless you shall die like men,
and fall like one of the rulers.”
8
Arise, God, judge the earth,
for you inherit all of the nations.
