   A prayer for judgment.
   A Psalm of Asaph.
   1 God standeth in the congregation of the mighty; he judgeth among the gods.
   
2 How long will ye suffer them to 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.
