Unjust Judgments Rebuked.

A Psalm of Asaph.

1 God takes His stand in His own congregation;
         He judges in the midst of the rulers.
2 How long will you judge unjustly
         And show partiality to the wicked?
Selah.

3 Vindicate the weak and fatherless;
         Do justice to the afflicted and destitute.
4 Rescue the weak and needy;
         Deliver them out of the hand of the wicked.
5 They do not know nor do they understand;
         They walk about in darkness;
         All the foundations of the earth are shaken.
6 I said, “You are gods,
         And all of you are sons of the Most High.
7 “Nevertheless you will die like men
         And fall like any one of the princes.”
8 Arise, O God, judge the earth!
         For it is You who possesses all the nations.
