he renders judgment among the “gods”:
This is a very timely verse. I was a little confused by this psalm, so I checked on some commentaries to help me out. In the verse above "gods" refer to human rulers and judges. This verse reassures us that God is in control. Those in power answer to a higher power, a judge of judges. The rest of Psalm 82 gives instruction to those in power and reminds them of how little they know. Verse 5 states: “The ‘gods’ know nothing, they understand nothing. They walk about in darkness; all the foundations of the earth are shaken." Sounds like our current election situation...
Lord, Thank you for presiding over the "gods" of this earth. Please help our rulers and judges. Amen.
