If there was any doubt as to the theme for this weekend, today's reading in the psalms should remove it. After a lengthy recitation in Psalm 81 about God's deliverance of the children of Israel from Egyptian slavery, Asaph reminds the people of their obligation to do the same for others:
"How long will you defend the unjust
and show partiality to the wicked?
Selah
Defend the cause of the weak and fatherless;
maintain the rights of the poor and oppressed.
Rescue the weak and needy;
deliver them from the hand of the wicked." (Psalm 81:2-4)
