1 A psalm of Asaph. God takes His stand in the assembly of God. He judges among the ‘gods’:
2 “How long will you judge unjustly and show partiality to the wicked? Selah
3 Give justice to the poor and fatherless. Be just to the afflicted and destitute.
4 Rescue the weak and needy. Deliver them out of the hand of the wicked.
5 They know nothing; they understand nothing— they walk about in darkness. All of earth’s foundations are shaken.
6 I said: ‘You are ‘gods’, and you are all sons of Elyon,
7 yet you will die like men, and will fall like any of the princes.’”
8 Arise, O God, judge the earth! For You possess all the nations.
