1 A Psalm for Asaph. God stands in the assembly of gods; And in the midst of them will judge gods.2 How long will ye judge unrighteously, And accept the persons of sinners? Pause.3 Judge the orphan and poor: Do justice to the low and needy.4 Rescue the needy, and deliver the poor Out of the hand of the sinner.5 They know not, nor understand; They walk on in darkness: All the foundations of the earth shall be shaken.6 I have said, Ye are gods; And all of you children of the Most High.7 But ye die as men, And fall as one of the princes.8 Arise, O God, judge the earth: For thou shalt inherit all nations.
