Psalms 82:6 - Forerunner Commentary

Psalms 82:6

4 Deliver the poor and needy;
Free them from the hand of the wicked.

5 They do not know, nor do they understand;
They walk about in darkness;
All the ^afoundations of the earth are unstable.

6 I said, ^a“You are gods,
And all of you are children of the Most High.

7 But you shall die like men,
And fall like one of the princes.”

8 Arise, O God, judge the earth;
^aFor You shall inherit all nations.

Psalm 82:6

Consider carefully the context because it removes any doubt about the implications of Psalm 82:6 (and Psalm 8:5) where it states that we are a little lower than Elohim. Here is our Savior saying not just that you and I are gods, but even these unconverted Jews are gods. Now, if unconverted people qualify according to Psalm 82, then what, pray tell, must those who have the Spirit of God qualify for? We are at least that high. And, certainly in that one sense, we are much closer to the purpose for which God is drawing all of mankind, because we have the Spirit of God.
