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.

1 God standeth in the congregation of God;

He judgeth among the gods.

2 How long will ye judge unjustly,

And respect the persons of the wicked? [Selah

3 Judge the poor and fatherless:

Do justice to the afflicted and 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 to and fro in darkness:

All the foundations of the earth are shaken.

6 I said, Ye are gods,

And all of you sons of the Most High.

7 Nevertheless 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.
