1 A Psalm. Of Asaph. God is in the meeting-place of God; he is judging among the gods.2 How long will you go on judging falsely, having respect for the persons of evil-doers? (Selah.)3 Give ear to the cause of the poor and the children without fathers; let those who are troubled and in need have their rights.4 Be the saviour of the poor and those who have nothing: take them out of the hand of the evil-doers.5 They have no knowledge or sense; they go about in the dark: all the bases of the earth are moved.6 I said, You are gods; all of you are the sons of the Most High:7 But you will come to death like men, falling like one of the rulers of the earth.8 Up! O God, come as judge of the earth; for all the nations are your heritage.

1 [A Psalm of Asaph.] God standeth in the assembly of *God, he judgeth among the gods.2 How long will ye judge unrighteously, and accept the person of the wicked? Selah.3 Judge the poor and the fatherless, do justice to the afflicted and the destitute;4 Rescue the poor and needy, deliver them out of the hand of the wicked.5 They know not, neither do they understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are moved.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 the nations.
