A Plea for Righteous Judgment

A psalm of Asaph.

1 God has taken His place in the divine assembly;

He judges among the gods:

2 “How long will you judge unjustly

and show partiality to the wicked?Selah

3 Provide justice for the needy and the fatherless;

uphold the rights of the oppressed and the destitute.

4 Rescue the poor and needy;

save them from the power of the wicked.”

5 They do not know or understand;

they wander 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 However, you will die like men

and fall like any other ruler.”

8 Rise up, God, judge the earth,

for all the nations belong to You.
