6 I have said, Ye are gods; and all of you are children of the most High.
6 I said, "You are gods, sons of the Most High, all of you;
6 "I commissioned you judges, each one of you, deputies of the High God,
6 I said, "You are gods, And all of you are children of the Most High.
6 I say, 'You are gods; you are all children of the Most High.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Psalm 82:6
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.
