Psalm 82

By Jeanne Webster

“God standeth in the congregation of the mighty; he judgeth among the gods.

How long will ye judge unjustly, and accept the persons of the wicked? Selah.

Defend the poor and fatherless: do justice to the afflicted and needy.

Deliver the poor and needy: rid them out of the hand of the wicked.

They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in darkness: all the foundations of the earth are out of course.

I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High.

But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes.

Arise, O God, judge the earth: for thou shalt inherit all nations.”

Father, our poor, needy and fatherless cry out to you as they continue to be afflicted by unjust mandates and decisions. We pray you will recompense them with your righteous judgment and relieve their oppression. The powers you have granted to our nation’s judges and guardians are abusive and neglectful. Convict the hearts of those who rule unjustly and have mercy upon them as they return again to your ways of justice. Arise, O Lord, and hear our prayer. Amen

Jeanne Webster
