1A melody of Asaph. God stands in the congregation of God and judges in the midst of the gods.2How long will you judge injustice and lift the faces of the wicked? Selah.3Judge the poor and the orphan; give justice to the afflicted and the poor.4Rescue the poor and the needy from the hand of the wicked; deliver them.5They do not know and they do not understand; they walk about in darkness; all the foundations of the land are shaken.6I said, You are gods, and all of you are sons of the Most High.7Nevertheless, you will die like a man, and you will fall like one of the rulers.8Arise, O God, judge the land, for you shall inherit all the nations.
