A Psalm of Asaph. ¹ God takes His stand in His own congregation;
He judges in the midst of the rulers. ² How long will you judge unjustly
And show partiality to the wicked? Selah. ³ Vindicate the weak and fatherless;
Do justice to the afflicted and destitute. ⁴ Rescue the weak and needy;
Deliver them out of the hand of the wicked. ⁵ They do not know nor do they understand;
They walk about in darkness;
All the foundations of the earth are shaken. ⁶ I said, “You are gods,
And all of you are sons of the Most High. ⁷ “Nevertheless you will die like men
And fall like any one of the princes.” ⁸ Arise, O God, judge the earth!
For it is You who possesses all the nations.
