The psalmist, having exhorted the judges, 1-4, and reproved their negligence, 5-7, prays God to judge, 8.
1 [A Psalm of Asaph.] God stands in the congregation of the mighty. He judges among the gods.
2 "How long will you judge unjustly and accept the persons of the wicked?" [Selah.]
3 "Defend the poor and fatherless. Do justice to the afflicted and needy.
4 Deliver the poor and needy. Deliver them from the hand of the wicked.
5 They do not know, neither will they understand. They walk on in darkness. All the foundations of the earth are out of course.
6 I have said, 'You are gods, and all of you are children of the Most High.
7 But you shall die like men and fall like one of the princes.'"
8 Arise, O God, judge the earth, for you will inherit all nations.
Matthew Henry Commentary - Psalms, Chapter 82
[v.6] - Quoted in John 10:34.
