Psalm 82:4

A Plea For Righteous Judgment

³ Provide justice for the needy and the fatherless;
uphold the rights of the oppressed and the destitute.
⁴ Rescue the poor and needy;
save them from the power of the wicked.” ⁵ They do not know or understand;
they wander in darkness.
All the foundations of the earth are shaken.
