Psalm for the week of July 10th

July 10: Psalm 82

¹God 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 orphan; maintain the right of the lowly 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 around in darkness; all the foundations of the earth are shaken.

⁶I say, “You are gods, children of the Most High, all of you;

⁷nevertheless, you shall die like mortals, and fall like any prince.”

⁸Rise up, O God, judge the earth; for all the nations belong to you!
