Book Three (Psalms 73-89) "Concerning the Sanctuary"

A Psalm of Asaph.


1.   God standeth in the congregation of the mighty; he judgeth among the gods.

2.   How long will ye 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.
