God presides in the great assembly;
he gives judgment among the "gods":
he gives judgment among the "gods":
"How long will you defend the unjust
and show partiality to the wicked?
Defend the cause of the weak and fatherless;
maintain the rights of the poor and oppressed.
Rescue the weak and needy;
deliver them from the hand of the wicked.
"They know nothing, they understand nothing.
They walk about in darkness;
all the foundations of the earth are shaken.
"I said, 'You are "gods";
you are all sons of the Most High.'
But you will die like mere men;
you will fall like every other ruler."
Rise up, O God, judge the earth,
for all the nations are your inheritance.
Psalm 82
O Lord, in judgment, remember mercy. May Your grace and mercy be upon Malaysia, Burma, Indonesia, North Korea, Sudan, Afghanistan, Iraq, Iran, Vietnam, Thailand, India, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Israel ... all the nations of the earth. Hear and answer the cries of the poor and the oppressed. Raise up good and righteous leaders for the weak and defenseless.
As Abraham said, "Shall not the Judge of all the earth do right?" Surely, He shall.
