Psalms 82:4

JusticePoverty and the vulnerableMercy and compassion

2 “How long will you judge unjustly and show partiality to the wicked? Selah

3 Defend the cause of the weak and fatherless; uphold the rights of the afflicted and oppressed.

Rescue the weak and needy; save them from the hand of the wicked.

5 They do not know or understand; they wander in the darkness; all the foundations of the earth are shaken.

6 I have said, ‘You are gods; you are all sons of the Most High.’
