1 |
A Psalm. Of Asaph.
God is in the meeting-place of God; he is judging among the gods. --
|
2 |
How long will you go on judging falsely, having respect for the persons of evil-doers? (Selah.) --
|
3 |
Give ear to the cause of the poor and the children without fathers; let those who are troubled and in need have their rights. --
|
4 |
Be the saviour of the poor and those who have nothing: take them out of the hand of the evil-doers. --
|
5 |
They have no knowledge or sense; they go about in the dark: all the bases of the earth are moved. --
|
6 |
I said, You are gods; all of you are the sons of the Most High: --
|
7 |
But you will come to death like men, falling like one of the rulers of the earth. --
|
8 |
Up! O God, come as judge of the earth; for all the nations are your heritage. --
