Psalms
Summary
A Psalm of Asaph. A powerful vision of God standing in the divine assembly to judge the rulers of the earth. It rebukes those who fail to defend the poor and the fatherless, reminding them that though they are called "gods," they will fall like every other man.
God stands in the congregation of the mighty; he judges among the gods.
How long will you 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, You are gods; and all of you are children of the most High.
But you shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes.
Arise, O God, judge the earth; for you shall inherit all nations.
