Psalm 82
Chapter Summary
God Continues
God continues His response, this time with specifics. Make a list of His indictments against them and of the corrected actions He requires of them. How are you fulfilling these requirements? Understand, too, that in this psalm, the word “gods” refers to human rulers, although you could also apply this rebuke to Satan and his angels.
