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.
