1. A psalm of Asaf: [Elohim] [[God]] stands in the divine assembly; there with the [elohim] [[judges]], he judges:

2. "How long will you go on judging unfairly, favoring the wicked? ([Selah])

3. Give justice to the weak and fatherless! Uphold the rights of the wretched and poor!

4. Rescue the destitute and needy; deliver them from the power of the wicked!"

5. They don't know, they don't understand, they wander about in darkness; meanwhile, all the foundations of the earth are being undermined.

6. "My decree is: 'You are [elohim] [[gods, judges]], sons of the Most High all of you.

7. Nevertheless, you will die like mortals; like any prince, you will fall.'"

8. Rise up, [Elohim], and judge the earth; for all the nations are yours.
