View Psalms 82 in the note window.82:1 (A Psalm of Asaph.) God standeth in the congregation of
the a mighty; he judgeth among the gods.
(a) The prophet shows that if princes and judges do not do
their duty, God whose authority is above them will take
vengeance on them.
82:2 How long will ye judge unjustly, and accept the persons of
the b wicked? Selah.
(b) For thieves and murderers find favour in judgment when
the cause of the godly cannot be heard.
82:4 Deliver the poor and c needy: rid [them] out of the hand
of the wicked.
(c) Not only when they cry for help, but when their cause
requires aid and support.
82:5 They know not, neither will they understand; they walk on
in darkness: all the d foundations of the earth are out
of course.
(d) That is, all things are out of order either by their
tyranny or careless negligence.
82:7 e But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the
princes.
(e) No title of honour will excuse you, but you will be
subject to God's judgments, and tender account as well
as other men.
82:8 Arise, O God, judge the earth: for thou shalt inherit f
all nations.
(f) Therefore no tyrant will pluck your right and authority
from you.
