1.    A Psalm. Of Asaph.
God is in the meeting-place of God; he is judging among the gods.
 
2.    How long will you go on judging falsely, having respect for the persons of evil-doers? (Selah.)
 
3.    Give ear to the cause of the poor and the children without fathers; let those who are troubled and in need have their rights.
 
4.    Be the saviour of the poor and those who have nothing: take them out of the hand of the evil-doers.
 
5.    They have no knowledge or sense; they go about in the dark: all the bases of the earth are moved.
 
6.    I said, You are gods; all of you are the sons of the Most High:
 
7.    But you will come to death like men, falling like one of the rulers of the earth.
 
8.    Up! O God, come as judge of the earth; for all the nations are your heritage.
