God Presides in the Divine Assembly
A Psalm of Asaph.
1God presides in the divine assembly;He renders judgment among the gods:
2“How long will you judge unjustlyfootnote aand show partiality to the wicked?Selah 3Defend the cause of the weak and fatherless;uphold the rights of the afflicted and oppressed. 4Rescue the weak and needy;save them from the hand of the wicked. 5They do not know or understand;they wander in the darkness;all the foundations of the earth are shaken. 6I have said, ‘You are gods;you are all sons of the Most High.’footnote b 7But like mortals you will die,and like rulers you will fall.”
8Arise, O God, judge the earth,for all the nations are Your inheritance.
