God presides in the divine assembly
							
																								
								1
								
									A PSALM OF ASAPH. God has stood in the congregation of God, || He judges among the gods.
								
							 
																								
								2
								
									Until when do you judge perversely? And lift up the face of the wicked? Selah.
								
							 
																								
								3
								
									Judge the weak and fatherless, || Declare the afflicted and the poor righteous.
								
							 
																								
								4
								
									Let the weak and needy escape, || Deliver them from the hand of the wicked.
								
							 
																								
								5
								
									They did not know, nor do they understand, || They habitually walk in darkness, || All the foundations of earth are moved.
								
							 
																								
								6
								
									I have said, “You [are] gods, || And sons of the Most High—all of you,
								
							 
																								
								7
								
									But you die as man, and you fall as one of the heads.”
								
							 
																								
								8
								
									Rise, O God, judge the earth, || For You have inheritance among all the nations!
