2 How long will you judge unjustly,
And ^ashow partiality to the wicked? Selah ‡

3 ¹Defend the poor and fatherless;
Do justice to the afflicted and ^aneedy. ‡

4 Deliver the poor and needy;
Free them from the hand of the wicked.

5 They do not know, nor do they understand;
They walk about in darkness;
All the ^afoundations of the earth are unstable. ‡
