**1 **\{A Psalm of Asaph.} God standeth in the congregation of the mighty; he judgeth among the gods.

**2 **How long will ye judge unjustly, and accept the persons of the wicked? Selah.

**3 **Defend the poor and fatherless: do justice to the afflicted and needy.

**4 **Deliver the poor and needy: rid *them* out of the hand of the wicked.

**5 **They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are out of course.

**6 **I have said, Ye *are* gods; and all of you *are* children of the most High.

**7 **But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes.

**8 **Arise, O God, judge the earth: for thou shalt inherit all nations.
