1A Psalm of Asaph. God standeth in the congregation of God; in the midst of the judges He judgeth:
2'How long will ye judge unjustly, and respect the persons of the wicked? Selah
3Judge the poor and fatherless; do justice to the afflicted and destitute.
4Rescue the poor and needy; deliver them out of the hand of the wicked.
5They know not, neither do they understand; they go about in darkness; all the foundations of the earth are moved.
6I said: Ye are godlike beings, and all of you sons of the Most High.
7Nevertheless ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes.'
8Arise, O God, judge the earth; for Thou shalt possess all nations.
