Psalm 82 | Rescue (MSAL)

Lyrics and Music by Jody Killingsworth

God takes His stand in His own congregation
Sitting as judge over judges of men
Why do you rulers dishonor your station
Helping the wicked and calling him friend?

Vindicate, vindicate
Orphaned sons and daughters
Liberate, liberate
Those who have no father

Rescue the poor, the despised and disheartened
Out of the wicked’s despicable hand
Why do you stumble with eyes that are darkened?
Open them wide, friend, and you’ll understand

Vindicate, vindicate
Orphaned sons and daughters
Liberate, liberate
Those who have no father

Rise, O God
And judge the earth
Take it back, remove the curse
Come, O Lord
Possess it all
Make it Yours, reverse the Fall

Listen, O gods, all you sons of Almighty
Honor your callings, do justice again
Know with the Lord there’s no secrets, no hiding
You’ll fall like princes and die just like men

Vindicate, vindicate
Orphaned sons and daughters
Liberate, liberate
Those who have no father

Vindicate, vindicate
Orphaned sons and daughters
Liberate, liberate
Those who have no father
