God Presides in the Divine Assembly

1A Psalm of Asaph. God has stood in the synagogue of gods, but, in their midst, he decides between gods.

2How long will you judge unjustly and favor the faces of sinners?

3Judge for the indigent and the orphan. Do justice to the humble and the poor.

4Rescue the poor, and free the needy from the hand of the sinner.

5They did not know and did not understand. They wander in darkness. All the foundations of the earth will be moved.

6I said: You are gods, and all of you are sons of the Most High.

7But you will die like men, and you will fall just like one of the princes.

8Rise up, O God. Judge the earth. For you will inherit it with all the nations.
