¹A psalm of Asaf:

Elohim [God] stands in the divine assembly;

there with the elohim [judges], he judges:

²“How long will you go on judging unfairly,

favoring the wicked? (Selah)

³Give justice to the weak and fatherless!

Uphold the rights of the wretched and poor!

⁴Rescue the destitute and needy;

deliver them from the power of the wicked!”

⁵They don’t know, they don’t understand,

they wander about in darkness;

meanwhile, all the foundations of the earth

are being undermined.

⁶“My decree is: ‘You are elohim [gods, judges],

sons of the Most High all of you.

⁷Nevertheless, you will die like mortals;

like any prince, you will fall.’”

⁸Rise up, Elohim , and judge the earth;

for all the nations are yours.
