God Presides in the Divine Assembly

A Psalm of Asaph.

1God presides in the divine assembly;

He renders judgment among the gods:

  • PS 82:1[NOTE]THE DIVINE ASSEMBLY. God stands up in a council of gods, elohim. Who are they? Human judges or spiritual beings? See the Big Question Ye Are Gods.

2“How long will you judge unjustly

and show partiality to the wicked?

Selah

3Defend the cause of the weak and fatherless;

uphold the rights of the afflicted and oppressed.

4Rescue the weak and needy;

save them from the hand of the wicked.

5They do not know or understand;

they wander in the darkness;

all the foundations of the earth are shaken.

6I have said, ‘You are gods;

you are all sons of the Most High.’

  • PS 82:6[QUOTED]Quoted in the New Testament → JN 10:34
  • PS 82:6[NOTE]YOU ARE GODS. Jesus quoted this when He was accused of claiming to be God, John 10:34 to 36.

7But like mortals you will die,

and like rulers you will fall.”

8Arise, O God, judge the earth,

for all the nations are Your inheritance.
