| 1 | God presides in the great assembly. 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 don't 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. Psalm 83 A song. A Psalm by Asaph. |
