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.ᵃ
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.
