7 But you will die like mere mortals; you will fall like every other ruler."
7 But ye shall die like men, and fall like one of the princes.
7 nevertheless, like men you shall die, and fall like any prince."
7 But you've betrayed your commission and now you're stripped of your rank, busted."
7 But you shall die like men, And fall like one of the princes."
7 But you will die like mere mortals and fall like every other ruler.'"
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Psalm 82:7
Commentary on Psalm 82:6-8
(Read Psalm 82:6-8)
It is hard for men to have honour put upon them, and not to be proud of it. But all the rulers of the earth shall die, and all their honour shall be laid in the dust. God governs the world. There is a righteous God to whom we may go, and on whom we may depend. This also has respect to the kingdom of the Messiah. Considering the state of affairs in the world, we have need to pray that the Lord Jesus would speedily rule over all nations, in truth, righteousness, and peace.
