Psalm 82
Psalm 82 is a short chapter in the Book of Psalms that addresses the theme of justice. It begins with God standing in the assembly of divine beings, calling them to account for their failure to uphold justice and protect the vulnerable. The psalm emphasizes the responsibility of these "gods" to defend the weak and the needy.
The psalmist reminds these divine figures that they are mortal and will face judgment for their actions. It concludes with a plea for God to rise and judge the earth, asserting that all nations belong to Him. This highlights the importance of divine justice in the world.
