Psalm 82 ~ rescue the weak and the needy

Psalm 82

1 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
3 Give justice to the weak and the fatherless;
maintain the right of the afflicted and the destitute.
4 Rescue the weak and the needy;
deliver them from the hand of the wicked.”

5 They have neither knowledge nor understanding,
they walk about in darkness;
all the foundations of the earth are shaken.

6 I said, “You are gods,
sons of the Most High, all of you;
7 nevertheless, like men you shall die,
and fall like any prince.”

8 Arise, O God, judge the earth;
for you shall inherit all the nations!

Jesus said there would be days like this:

Matthew 9:37
Then he said to his disciples, “The harvest is plentiful, but the laborers are few


When the waters are deeper than we like, O Lord, be with us, guide us and lead us. For the glory of your son, Jesus' name. Amen.
