1 A psalm of Asaph. God stands in the assembly of El; in the midst of the gods he renders judgment.
2 He says, "How long will you make unjust legal decisions and show favoritism to the wicked? (Selah)
3 Defend the cause of the poor and the fatherless! Vindicate the oppressed and suffering!
4 Rescue the poor and needy! Deliver them from the power of the wicked!
5 They neither know nor understand. They stumble around in the dark, while all the foundations of the earth crumble.
