A Psalm of Asaph
. God
standeth
in the congregation
of the mighty
; he judgeth
among
the gods
.
How long will ye judge unjustly
, and accept
the persons
of the wicked
? Selah
.
Defend the poor
and fatherless
: do justice
to the afflicted
and needy
.
Deliver the poor
and needy
: rid
them out of the hand
of the wicked
.
They know not, neither will they understand
; they walk
on in darkness
: all the foundations
of the earth
are out of course
.
I have said, Ye are gods
; and all of you are children
of the most High
.
But ye shall die
like men
, and fall
like one
of the princes
.
Arise, O God
, judge
the earth
: for thou shalt inherit
all nations
.
