Psalm 82

A song of Asaph.

Psalm 82 provides an image of a heavenly scene in which God accuses His heavenly messengers of not caring for the poor and pursuing justice.

    He pronounces judgment on the so-called gods.
2 He asks: “How long will you judge dishonestly
    and be partial to the wicked?”
