1A psalm of Assaph.
2How long will ye judge unjustly, and treat with favor the face of the wicked? Selah.
3Judge uprightly the poor and fatherless: do justice to the afflicted and indigent.
4Release the poor and needy: deliver them out of the power of the wicked.
5They know not, nor will they understand; in darkness do they walk on: all the foundations of the earth are moved.
6I have indeed said, Ye are gods; and children of the most High are all of you.
7But verily like men shall ye die, and like one of the princes shall ye fall.
8Arise, O God, judge the earth; for thou wilt possess all the nations.
