A Psalm of Asaph.
A Psalm of Asaph.
1 God takes His stand in His own congregation;
He judges in the midst of the rulers.
He judges in the midst of the rulers.
2 How long will you judge unjustly
And show partiality to the wicked?
And show partiality to the wicked?
Selah.
3 Vindicate the weak and fatherless;
Do justice to the afflicted and destitute.
Do justice to the afflicted and destitute.
4 Rescue the weak and needy;
Deliver them out of the hand of the wicked.
Deliver them out of the hand of the wicked.
5 They do not know nor do they understand;
They walk about in darkness;
All the foundations of the earth are shaken.
They walk about in darkness;
All the foundations of the earth are shaken.
6 I said, “You are gods,
And all of you are sons of the Most High.
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.”
And fall like any one of the princes.”
8 Arise, O God, judge the earth!
For it is You who possesses all the nations.
For it is You who possesses all the nations.
