1A Song of a Psalm for Asaph.
1God standeth in the congregation of the mighty; he judgeth among the gods.
2O God, who shall be compared to thee? be not silent, neither be still, O God.
2How long will ye judge unjustly, and accept the persons of the wicked? Selah.
3For behold, thine enemies have made a noise; and they that hate thee have lifted up the head.
3Defend the poor and fatherless: do justice to the afflicted and needy.
4Against thy people they have craftily imagined a device, and have taken counsel against thy saints.
4Deliver the poor and needy: rid them out of the hand of the wicked.
5They have said, Come, and let us utterly destroy them out of the nation; and let the name of Israel be remembered no more at all.
5They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are out of course.
6For they have taken counsel together with one consent: they have made a confederacy against thee;
6I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High.
7even the tents of the Idumeans, and the Ismaelites; Moab, and the Agarenes;
7But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes.
8Gebal, and Ammon, and Amalec; the Philistines also, with them that dwell at Tyre.
8Arise, O God, judge the earth: for thou shalt inherit all nations.
