1A psalm of Asaph. God stands in the assembly of El; in the midst of the gods he renders judgment. 1A psalm of Asaph. God has taken His place in the divine assembly; He judges among the gods:"
2He says, "How long will you make unjust legal decisions and show favoritism to the wicked? (Selah) 2How long will you judge unjustly and show partiality to the wicked? Selah
3Defend the cause of the poor and the fatherless! Vindicate the oppressed and suffering! 3Provide justice for the needy and the fatherless; uphold the rights of the oppressed and the destitute.
4Rescue the poor and needy! Deliver them from the power of the wicked! 4Rescue the poor and needy; save them from the power of the wicked."
5They neither know nor understand. They stumble around in the dark, while all the foundations of the earth crumble. 5They do not know or understand; they wander in darkness. All the foundations of the earth are shaken.
6I thought, 'You are gods; all of you are sons of the Most High.' 6I said, "You are gods; you are all sons of the Most High.
7Yet you will die like mortals; you will fall like all the other rulers." 7However, you will die like men and fall like any other ruler."
8Rise up, O God, and execute judgment on the earth! For you own all the nations. 8Rise up, God, judge the earth, for all the nations belong to You.
