A Plea for Justice
A Psalm of Asaph.
1 Godstands in the congregation of the mighty;
# He judges amongthe gods.
2 How long will you judge unjustly,
# Andshow partiality to the wicked?
Selah
3 Defend the poor and fatherless;
# Do justice to the afflicted andneedy.
4 Deliver the poor and needy;
Freethemfrom the hand of the wicked.
5 They do not know, nor do they understand;
They walk about in darkness;
# All thefoundations of the earth are unstable.
6 I said,“Youaregods,
And all of youarechildren of the Most High.
7 But you shall die like men,
And fall like one of the princes.”
8 Arise, O God, judge the earth;
# For You shall inherit all nations.
