Psalm 82
Overview
82:1 The psalmist, having exhorted the judges,
82:5 and reproved their negligence,
82:8 prays God to judge.
Some refer this psalm to the time of David, and others to that of Hezekiah; but it is more probable that it was composed when Jehoshaphat reformed the courts throughout his kingdom.
