A Psalm of Asaph.
A Plea for Justice

1. A Psalm of Asaph. God presides in the divine assembly; He renders judgment among the gods:

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

3. Defend the cause of the weak and fatherless; uphold the rights of the afflicted and oppressed.

4. Rescue the weak and needy; save them from the hand of the wicked.

5. They do not know or understand; they wander in the darkness; all the foundations of the earth are shaken.

6. I have said, ‘You are gods; you are all sons of the Most High.’

7. But like mortals you will die, and like rulers you will fall.”

8. Arise, O God, judge the earth, for all the nations are Your inheritance.
