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.

1 A Psalm of Asaph. God stands in the congregation of the mighty; he judges among the gods.2 How long will ye judge unjustly and accept the persons of the wicked? Selah.3 Do right concerning the poor and fatherless; do justice to the poor and destitute.4 Deliver the poor and destitute; deliver [them] out of the hand of the wicked.5 They do not know, neither do they understand; they walk in darkness; they move all the foundations of the earth.6 I have said, Ye [are] gods; and all of you [are] sons of the most High.7 But ye shall die like men and fall like one of the tyrants.8 Arise, O God, judge the earth, for thou shalt inherit all the Gentiles.:
