Psalms 82:4 Meaning and Commentary

Psalms 82:4

Deliver the poor and needy
From his adversary and oppressor, who is mightier than he, and draws him to the judgment seat; when it is not in his power to defend himself against him, and get out of his hands, unless a righteous judge will show a regard to him and his cause; and sometimes even an unjust judge, through importunity, will do this, as everyone ought, and every righteous one will:

rid them out of the hand of the wicked;
this was what the poor widow importuned the unjust judge for, and obtained, ( Luke 18:3-5 ) .

Psalms 82:4 In-Context

2 Deus quis similis erit tibi ne taceas neque conpescaris Deus
3 quoniam ecce inimici tui sonaverunt et qui oderunt te extulerunt caput
4 super populum tuum malignaverunt consilium et cogitaverunt adversus sanctos tuos
5 dixerunt venite et disperdamus eos de gente et non memoretur nomen Israhel ultra
6 quoniam cogitaverunt unianimiter simul adversum te testamentum disposuerunt
