Psalm 82:8
“Arise, O God, judge the earth: for thou shalt inherit all nations. ”
KJV
Read in Psalm 82Meaning
The psalm ends by transferring final judgment to God. After condemning corrupt rule, the prayer asks for universal divine justice rather than private vengeance.
Read carefully
The subject of the final judgment is God; the verse does not delegate universal coercive authority to readers.
Reflection
Pursue justice lawfully while resisting the temptation to appoint yourself final judge over others.
