Psalm 82:4

4 Rescaten al pobre y al indefenso;
líbrenlos de las garras de los malvados.

Psalm 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 ) .

Psalm 82:4 In-Context

2 «¿Hasta cuándo dictarán decisiones injustas
que favorecen a los malvados?
Interludio

3 »Hagan justicia al pobre y al huérfano;
defiendan los derechos de los oprimidos y de los desposeídos.

4 Rescaten al pobre y al indefenso;
líbrenlos de las garras de los malvados.

5 Pero esos opresores no saben nada;
¡son tan ignorantes!
Andan errantes en la oscuridad
mientras el mundo entero se estremece hasta los cimientos.

6 Yo digo: “Ustedes son dioses;
son todos hijos del Altísimo.
