MatinsPsalm 82
1 God calls the judges into his courtroom,
he puts all the judges in the dock.
2-4 “Enough! You’ve corrupted justice long enough,
you’ve let the wicked get away with murder.
You’re here to defend the defenseless,
to make sure that underdogs get a fair break;
Your job is to stand up for the powerless,
and prosecute all those who exploit them.”
5 Ignorant judges! Head-in-the-sand judges!
They haven’t a clue to what’s going on.
And now everything’s falling apart,
the world’s coming unglued.
6-7 “I commissioned you judges, each one of you,
deputies of the High God,
But you’ve betrayed your commission
and now you’re stripped of your rank, busted.”
8 O God, give them their just deserts!
You’ve got the whole world in your hands!
Collect
Jesus, Saviour,
we remember Elizabeth,
the widowed, banished, battered princess,
separated from her children and all she had,
for you, for the sick and for the poor;
help us to understand and care
for those whose grief is sore.
Amen.

Prayer
Our Father,
your kingdom come
on earth as in heaven.
God our judge and our teacher,
let us not waste time when the day is done in
guilt or self-reproach.
Give us rather the courage
to face whatever has been,
accept forgiveness, and move on to something better.
Amen
The Blessing
May Christ the King give us his blessing of peace.
Amen
Let us bless the Lord.
Thanks be to God.
