Unjust Judgments Rebuked.
A Psalm of Asaph.
1  God takes His Astand in 1His own congregation;
He Bjudges in the midst of the 2Crulers.
2  How long will you Ajudge unjustly
And Bshow partiality to the wicked? 1
Selah.
3  AVindicate the weak and fatherless;
Do justice to the afflicted and destitute.
4  ARescue the weak and needy;
Deliver them out of the hand of the wicked.
 
5 They Ado not know nor do they understand;
They Bwalk about in darkness;
All the Cfoundations of the earth are shaken.
6  1I Asaid, “You are gods,
And all of you are Bsons of the Most High.
7 “Nevertheless Ayou will die like men
And fall like any Bone of the princes.”
8  AArise, O God, Bjudge the earth!
For it is You who Cpossesses all the nations.
