1 Salmo de Asaf. Levanta-se Deus na assembléia divina, entre os deuses profere o seu julgamento.2 Até quando julgareis iniquamente, favorecendo a causa dos ímpios?3 Defendei o oprimido e o órfão, fazei justiça ao humilde e ao pobre,4 livrai o oprimido e o necessitado, tirai-o das garras dos ímpios.5 Eles não querem saber nem compreender, andam nas trevas, vacilam os fundamentos da terra.6 Eu disse: Sois deuses, sois todos filhos do Altíssimo.7 Contudo, morrereis como simples homens e, como qualquer príncipe, caireis.8 Levantai-vos, Senhor, para julgar a terra, porque são vossas todas as nações.

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.
