A Plea for Righteous Judgment

1 A psalm of Asaph.(A)
God has taken His place in the divine assembly;
He judges among the gods:(a)(B)
2
“How long will you judge unjustly
and show partiality to the wicked?(C)Selah
3
Provide justice for the needy and the fatherless;
uphold the rights of the oppressed and the destitute.(D)
4
Rescue the poor and needy;
save them from the power of the wicked.”(E)
5
They do not know or understand;
they wander in darkness.(F)
All the foundations of the earth are shaken.(G)
