God Stands in Judgment

A Psalm of Asaph.

1God takes His stand in the congregation of [†]God;

He judges in the midst of [†]gods.

2How long will you judge unrighteously

And show partiality to the wicked? [†]Selah.

3Give justice to the poor and the orphan;

Justify the afflicted and destitute.

4Protect the poor and needy;

Deliver them out of the hand of the wicked.

5They do not know and do not 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.

7Nevertheless you will die like men

And you will fall like any one of the princes.”

8Arise, O God, judge the earth!

For it is You who will inherit all the nations.



1 Heb El; the one true God
1 Or rulers
2 Selah may mean Pause, Crescendo, Musical Interlude
6 Lit I, on my part
