82:1-4 This Psalm is a prayer for justice. Our Father has taught us what perfect justice is: the defense of the impoverished and the orphaned. Care for the afflicted and needy. Freedom for those in the bonds of wicked.
82:5 While the world is often run by selfish gain, God seeks only the selfless defense of people who cannot fight for themselves. The system of the world is backward. It is opposite of God's system of compassion.
82:6-8 No one is holy except God. No one is mighty expect God. Everyone can be defeated except God. The proud and ignored will be humbled. We are all subject to God's judgement. Our behavior determines on which side of justice we stand.
82:8 Pray for the arrival of God's ultimate judgement. He will claim the earth and all inhabitants and His justice will reign across every part.
