“Provide justice for the needy and the fatherless; uphold the rights of the oppressed and the destitute. Rescue the poor and needy; save them from the power of the wicked.” They do not know or understand; they wander in darkness. All the foundations of the earth are shaken.”
Psalms 82:3-5 CSB
This Psalm is a defense of the needy against those who are treating them unfairly. The evil rulers are taking advantage of people who cannot defend themselves…God is wanting to protect them. God knows that everyone who is following their own way is to be pitied because they are blind and foolish.
Lord, show me how to protect, defend and love those who are unaware of their standing with You. Give me compassion to patiently point them to You and have the right words that will not offend or demean. I pray that my words and actions would be attractive so that they desire to know You more.
