The Book of Psalms

A Psalm of Asaph.

God standeth in the assembly of God [El], he judgeth among the gods.

How long will ye judge unrighteously, and accept the person of the wicked? Selah.

Judge the poor and the fatherless, do justice to the afflicted and the destitute;

Rescue the poor and needy, deliver them out of the hand of the wicked.

They know not, neither do they understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are moved.

I have said, Ye are gods, and all of you are children of the Most High;

Arise, O God, judge the earth; for *thou* shalt inherit all the nations.
