Psalm 82 offers a sobering and prophetic picture of divine judgment, reminding us that God stands as the ultimate Judge over all human authority. In this psalm, God confronts those who hold positions of power yet fail to administer justice, especially to the poor, the orphan, and the oppressed. It challenges every leader, system, and society to align with God’s standard of righteousness. The judgment spoken of here is not only punitive but redemptive—it calls for a return to justice, a defense of the vulnerable, and accountability for neglecting God’s call. Psalm 82 reminds us that while we may hold temporary roles of influence, we are all subject to the eternal judgment of a holy and righteous God who expects justice to be lived out on earth as it is in heaven.
