1 Aasafin virsi. Jumala seisoo jumalien kokouksessa, hän on tuomari jumalien keskellä:

4 Vapauttakaa vaivainen ja köyhä, pelastakaa hänet jumalattomain käsistä.

5 Ei ole heillä älyä, ei ymmärrystä, he vaeltavat pimeydessä: kaikki maan perustukset horjuvat.

6 Minä sanon: Te olette jumalia ja kaikki tyynni Korkeimman poikia;

8 Nouse, Jumala, tuomitse maa, sillä sinä perit kaikki pakanakansat.

1 A Psalm. Of Asaph. God is in the meeting-place of God; he is judging among the gods.

2 How long will you go on judging falsely, having respect for the persons of evil-doers? (Selah.)

3 Give ear to the cause of the poor and the children without fathers; let those who are troubled and in need have their rights.

4 Be the saviour of the poor and those who have nothing: take them out of the hand of the evil-doers.

5 They have no knowledge or sense; they go about in the dark: all the bases of the earth are moved.

6 I said, You are gods; all of you are the sons of the Most High:

7 But you will come to death like men, falling like one of the rulers of the earth.

8 Up! O God, come as judge of the earth; for all the nations are your heritage.
