Psalm
R· Rise up, O God, bring judgment to the earth.
Defend the lowly and the fatherless;
render justice to the afflicted and the destitute.
Rescue the lowly and the poor;
from the hand of the wicked deliver them. R.
I said: "You are gods,
all of you sons of the Most High;
yet like men you shall die,
and fall like any prince." R.
