| | 1 | A psalm of Asaph. God presides in the great assembly; he gives judgment among the "gods": | |
| | 2 | "How long will you defend the unjust and show partiality to the wicked? Selah | |
| | 3 | Defend the cause of the weak and fatherless; maintain the rights of the poor and oppressed. | |
| | 4 | Rescue the weak and needy; deliver them from the hand of the wicked. | |
| | 5 | "They 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 men; you will fall like every other ruler." | |
| | 8 | Rise up, O God, judge the earth, for all the nations are your inheritance. | |
