The Psalms

[A Psalm of Asaph.] God takes His stand in His own congregation; He judges in the midst of the rulers.

How long will you judge unjustly, And show partiality to the wicked?[Selah].

Vindicate the weak and fatherless; Do justice to the afflicted and destitute.

Rescue the weak and needy; Deliver [them] out of the hand of the wicked.

They do not know nor do they understand; They walk about in darkness; All the foundations of the earth are shaken.

I said, "You are gods, And all of you are sons of the Most High.

"Nevertheless you will die like men, And fall like [any] one of the princes."

Arise, O God, judge the earth! For it is Thou who dost possess all the nations.
