Righteous Rescue???
Is it moral to continue to bolster the greedy,
And bomb at elevating the lives of the needy?
Is it just to go on accepting our leader’s ill will,
Without calling on them to demonstrate goodwill?
Is it proper to bless Wall Street with remuneration,
While willing workers cannot afford medication?
Is it honorable to again allow the privileged to rack up,
While advising the underprivileged to suck it up?
Is it ethical for our leaders to supplement themselves
Sending away those who need help to fend for themselves
There is a Judge that looks low as He sits on high
He will hear and act when the poor and needy cry.
He will also chasten His own people for being mute
As the less fortunate are made even further destitute.
Let us use our God given clout
And for righteousness sake, let us speak out
Psalm 82 (Amplified Bible)
A Psalm of Asaph.
1GOD STANDS in the assembly [of the representatives] of God; in the midst of the magistrates or judges He gives judgment [as] among the gods.
2How long will you [magistrates or judges] judge unjustly and show partiality to the wicked? Selah [pause, and calmly think of that]!
3Do justice to the weak (poor) and fatherless; maintain the rights of the afflicted and needy.
4Deliver the poor and needy; rescue them out of the hand of the wicked.
5[The magistrates and judges] know not, neither will they understand; they walk on in the darkness [of complacent satisfaction]; all the foundations of the earth [the fundamental principles upon which rests the administration of justice] are shaking.
6I said, You are gods [since you judge on My behalf, as My representatives]; indeed, all of you are children of the Most High.
7But you shall die as men and fall as one of the princes.
8Arise, O God, judge the earth! For to You belong all the nations.
