New Heart English Bible

1 <A Psalm by Asaph. > God presides in the assembly of God. He judges among the gods.

2 "How long will you judge unjustly, and show partiality to the wicked?" Selah.

3 "Defend the weak, the poor, and the fatherless. Maintain the rights of the poor and oppressed.

4 Rescue the weak and needy. Deliver them out of the hand of the wicked."

5 They do not know, neither do they understand. They walk back and forth in darkness. All the foundations of the earth are shaken.

6 I said, "You are gods, all of you are sons of the Most High.

7 Nevertheless you shall die like men, and fall like one of the rulers."

8 Arise, God, judge the earth, for you inherit all of the nations.
