Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Psalms 82:8
THE CONCLUSION"Arise, O God, judge the earth;For thou shalt inherit all the nations."In these words, we have a petition by the psalmist, God's message to the false judges having been just concluded by the sentence of death pronounced upon them by God, with the strong intimation that their death would be by providential action upon God's part to remove them.The psalmist here seems to have been one of those Israelites mentioned by the prophet Amos 5:18-20.

Green. This verse in a higher sense may refer to the reign of the Messiah; who was to have the heathen, &c. Psa 2:8 and to whom God would commit all judgment, John 5:22. REFLECTIONS.—1st, All power is from God: the powers that are, are ordained of God: a strong... read more
