In today’s Meditatio Hour, Rev. Jonathan Fisk meditates on:

1. Psalm 82

Rescue the Weak and Needy

A Psalm of Asaph.

82 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.”[a]

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

Footnotes:

Psalm 82:7 Or fall as one man, O princes

2. Proverbs 12:6

6 The words of the wicked lie in wait for blood,
but the mouth of the upright delivers them.
