Called to Do Justice

Psalm 82 

God takes His stand in His own congregation;

He judges in the midst of the rulers.

How long will you judge unjustly

And show partiality to the wicked?   Selah.

Vindicate the weak and fatherless;

Do justice to the afflicted and destitute.

Rescue the weak and needy;

Deliver them out of the hand of the wicked.

They do not know nor do they understand;

They walk about in darkness;

All the foundations of the earth are shaken.

I said, “You are gods,

And all of you are sons of the Most High.

“Nevertheless you will die like men

And fall like any one of the princes.”

Arise, O God, judge the earth!

For it is You who possesses all the nations.

What a powerful psalm.  Even with a few expressions that may seem difficult to understand, the central message of Psalm 82 is crystal clear: Do Justice!
