In this Lectio Divina episode, Erin guides us through Lectio Divina with Psalm 82. Lectio Divina is a way of listening to Scripture with a prayerful Spirit. Sit back, create some space, and encounter God in Scripture!

Psalm 82 (NIV)

“God presides in the great assembly; 

he renders judgment among the “gods”: 

“How long will you defend the unjust 

and show partiality to the wicked? s 

Defend the weak and the fatherless; 

uphold the cause of the poor and the oppressed. 

Rescue the weak and the needy; 

deliver them from the hand of the wicked. 

“The ‘gods’ know nothing, they understand nothing. 

They walk about in darkness; 

all the foundations of the earth are shaken. 

“I said, ‘You are “gods”; 

you are all sons of the Most High.’ 

But you will die like mere mortals; 

you will fall like every other ruler.” 

Rise up, O God, judge the earth, 

for all the nations are your inheritance.”
