Psalm
82 Monday Morning 4
God presides over the divine assembly; * in their midst he judges the
gods:
“How long will you defend the
unjust, * and show partiality to the wicked?
Defend the weak and the orphan;
* give justice to the afflicted and the poor.
Rescue the weak and the needy;
* from the hand of the wicked free them.”
Without knowledge or
understanding * they wander in darkness; * all earth's foundations are shaken.
I had thought, “You are gods, *
all of you sons of the Most High.
Yet like men you shall die, *
and fall like any prince.”
Arise, God, govern the earth; * rule all the nations yourself.
