Rescue the Weak and Needy
82 A Psalm of Asaph.
God has taken his place in the divine council;
in the midst of the gods he holds judgment: 2“How long will you judge unjustly
and show partiality to the wicked? Selah 3Give justice to the weak and the fatherless;
maintain the right of the afflicted and the destitute. 4Rescue the weak and the needy;
deliver them from the hand of the wicked.” 5They have neither knowledge nor understanding,
they walk about in darkness;
all the foundations of the earth are shaken. 6I said, “You are gods,
sons of the Most High, all of you; 7nevertheless, like men you shall die,
and fall like any prince.”(1) 8Arise, O God, judge the earth;
for you shall inherit all the nations!
Psalm 82:7 - (1) 82:7 Or *fall as one man, O princes*
