Siding with the Weak

 I thought that this statement went well with today's Psalter reading from Morning Prayer:




Psalm 82 
Coverdale

1God takes his stand in the council of heaven; *
he gives judgment in the midst of the gods:

2"How long will you judge unjustly, *
and show favor to the wicked?

3Save the weak and the orphan; *
defend the humble and needy;

4Rescue the weak and the poor; *
deliver them from the power of the wicked.

5They do not know, neither do they understand;
they go about in darkness; *
all the foundations of the earth are shaken.

6Now I say to you, 'You are gods, *
and all of you children of the Most High;

7Nevertheless, you shall die like mortals, *
and fall like any prince.'"

8Arise, O God, and rule the earth, *
for you shall take all nations for your own.
