1A psalm <04210> of Asaph <0623>. God <0430> stands <05324> in the assembly <05712> of El <0410>; in the midst <07130> of the gods <0430> he renders judgment <08199>.
2He says, “How long <04970> long <05704> will you make <08199> unjust <05766> legal <08199> decisions and show favoritism <05375> favoritism <06440> to the wicked <07563>? (Selah <05542>)
3Defend <08199> the cause of the poor <01800> and the fatherless <03490>! Vindicate <06663> the oppressed <06041> and suffering <07326>!
4Rescue <06403> the poor <01800> and needy <034>! Deliver <05337> them from the power <03027> of the wicked <07563>!
5They neither <03808> know <03045> nor <03808> understand <0995>. They stumble <01980> around in the dark <02825>, while all <03605> the foundations <04144> of the earth <0776> crumble <04131>.
6I <0589> thought <0559>, ‘You are gods <0430>; all <03605> of you <0859> are sons <01121> of the Most <05945> High.’
7Yet <0403> you will die <04191> like mortals <0120>; you will fall <05307> like all the other <0259> rulers <08269>.”
8Rise up <06965>, O God <0430>, and execute judgment <08199> on the earth <0776>! For <03588> you <0859> own <05157> all <03605> the nations <01471>.
