Psalm 82 Poem by Justin Reamer

Psalm 82



God stands in the divine assembly,
among the gods He dispenses justice:

'No more mockery of justice,
no more favouring the wicked!
Let the weak and the orphan have justice,
be fair to the wretched and destitute;
rescue the weak and needy,
save them from the clutches of the wicked! '

Ignorant and senseless, they carry on blindly,
undermining the very basis of earthly society.
I once said, 'You too are gods,
sons of the Most High, all of you, '
but all the same, you shall die like other men;
as one man, princes, you shall fall.

Rise, God, dispense justice throughout the world,
since no nation is excluded from Your ownership.

COMMENTS OF THE POEM

I love psalm 82. I fell in love with it the first time I encountered it from a sermon. It shows the true character of God. Love, justice and righteousness. Is it me or don't you just see Gods lamenting heart having to bring to justice his very same children. When he laments I once said, 'You too are gods, sons of the Most High, all of you, but all the same, you shall die like other men; as one man, princes, you shall fall. '. That said bless you for ministering Gods word as it's always a blessing to read Psalm 82.
