God presides in the great assembly. He judges among the gods. «How long will you judge unjustly, and show partiality to the wicked?» «Defend the weak, the poor, and the fatherless. Maintain the rights of the poor and oppressed. Rescue the weak and needy. Deliver them out of the hand of the wicked.» They don't know, neither do they understand.

Blessed is he who considers the poor. Yahweh will deliver him in the day of evil. Yahweh will preserve him, and keep him alive. He shall be blessed on the earth, and he will not surrender him to the will of his enemies. Yahweh will sustain him on his sickbed, and restore him from his bed of illness. I said, «Yahweh, have mercy on me! Heal me, for I have sinned against you.» My enemies speak evil against me: «When will he die, and his name perish?» If he comes to see me, he speaks falsehood. His heart gathers iniquity to itself. When he goes abroad, he tells it. All who hate me whisper together against me. They imagine the worst for me. «An evil disease,» they say, «has afflicted him. Now that he lies he shall rise up no more.» Yes, my own familiar friend, in whom I trusted, who ate bread with me, has lifted up his heel against me.

He who dwells in the secret place of the Most High will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. I will say of Yahweh, «He is my refuge and my fortress; my God, in whom I trust.» For he will deliver you from the snare of the fowler, and from the deadly pestilence. He will cover you with his feathers. Under his wings you will take refuge. His faithfulness is your shield and rampart. You shall not be afraid of the terror by night, nor of the arrow that flies by day; nor of the pestilence that walks in darkness, nor of the destruction that wastes at noonday. A thousand may fall at your side, and ten thousand at your right hand; but it will not come near you. You will only look with your eyes, and see the recompense of the wicked. Because you have made Yahweh your refuge, and the Most High your dwelling place, no evil shall happen to you, neither shall any plague come near your dwelling.

Oh clap your hands, all you nations. Shout to God with the voice of triumph! For Yahweh Most High is awesome. He is a great King over all the earth. He subdues nations under us, and peoples under our feet. He chooses our inheritance for us, the glory of Jacob whom he loved.
