1A Psalm of Asaph. God takes His stand in His own congregation; He judges in the midst of the rulers.

2How long will you judge unjustly And show partiality to the wicked? Selah.

3Vindicate the weak and fatherless; Do justice to the afflicted and destitute.

4Rescue the weak and needy; Deliver [them] out of the hand of the wicked.

5They do not know nor do they understand; They walk about in darkness; All the foundations of the earth are shaken.

6I 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.'

8Arise, O God, judge the earth! For it is You who possesses all the nations.
