God Presides in the Divine Assembly
1A Psalm of Asaph.
God presides in the divine assembly;
He renders judgment among the gods:
2“How long will you judge unjustlyOr How long will you defend the unjust
and show partiality to the wicked?
Selah
3Defend the cause of the weak and fatherless;
uphold the rights of the afflicted and oppressed.
4Rescue the weak and needy;
save them from the hand of the wicked.
5They do not know or understand;
they wander in the darkness;
all the foundations of the earth are shaken.
6I have said, ‘You are gods;
you are all sons of the Most High.’Cited in John 10:34
7But like mortals you will die,
and like rulers you will fall.”
8Arise, O God, judge the earth,
for all the nations are Your inheritance.
