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