Psalms 82:6

"I said, “You are gods, all of you are sons of the Most High."

Key Reflection

Psalms 82:6 addresses a divine assembly where God is speaking to earthly judges and rulers, declaring that they share a divine status as sons of the Most High. This poetic language would have resonated with the original audience by elevating these leaders, suggesting a shared authority or divinely appointed role, while also setting up a contrast when God later rebukes them for their wrongdoings in Psalm 82:7-8.
