Job 29:12-17
Legacy Standard Bible

12 Because I provided escape for (A)the afflicted who cried for help,
And the (B)orphan who had no helper.
13 The blessing of the one (C)ready to perish came upon me,
And I made the (D)widow’s heart sing for joy.
14 I (E)clothed myself with righteousness, and it clothed me;
My justice was like a robe and a turban.
15 I was (F)eyes to the blind
And feet to the lame.
16 I was a father to (G)the needy,
And I searched out the case which I did not know.
17 I (H)broke the fangs of the unjust
And snatched the prey from his teeth.

Psalm 82
Legacy Standard Bible

God Stands in Judgment

A Psalm of Asaph.

82 God takes His (A)stand in the congregation of [a]God;
He (B)judges in the midst of [b](C)gods.
2 How long will you (D)judge unrighteously
And (E)show partiality to the wicked? [c]Selah.
3 (F)Give justice to the poor and the orphan;
Justify the afflicted and destitute.
4 (G)Protect the poor and needy;
Deliver them out of the hand of the wicked.

5 They (H)do not know and do not understand;
They (I)walk about in darkness;
All the (J)foundations of the earth are shaken.
6 [d]I (K)said, “You are gods,
And all of you are (L)sons of the Most High.
7 Nevertheless (M)you will die like men
And you will fall like any (N)one of the princes.”
8 (O)Arise, O God, (P)judge the earth!
For it is You who (Q)will inherit all the nations.
