A psalm of Asaph.

1 God presides in the great assembly;

he renders judgment among the ‘gods’:

2 ‘How long will youdefend the unjust

and show partiality to the wicked?

3 Defend the weak and the fatherless;

uphold the cause of the poor and the oppressed.

4 Rescue the weak and the needy;

deliver them from the hand of the wicked.

5 ‘The “gods” know nothing, they understand nothing.

They walk about in darkness;

all the foundations of the earth are shaken.

6 ‘I said, “You are ‘gods’;

you are all sons of the Most High.”

7 But you will die like mere mortals;

you will fall like every other ruler.’

8 Rise up, O God, judge the earth,

for all the nations are your inheritance.
