Psalm 82: Judgment Blues: The Cry for Justice

** Psalm 82 is a Psalm of Asaph, a musician and prophet who served during the time of King David and King Solomon. Asaph’s psalms often carried a prophetic and justice-driven voice, calling out the corruption of rulers and the need for divine intervention.

This psalm presents a heavenly courtroom scene, where God Himself stands among the rulers (referred to as "gods" – earthly authorities) and charges them with injustice. He rebukes them for failing to protect the weak and needy, reminding them that though they hold power, they are mere mortals who will one day perish. The psalm ends with a cry for God to rise up and bring true justice to the nations.

Psalm 82 is a powerful reminder that no leader is above God's justice, and that true righteousness means defending the oppressed, the poor, and the weak. This blues song, "Judgment Blues: The Cry for Justice," captures the raw, prophetic call of this psalm and brings it to life in a deep, soulful blues expression.

** Psalm 82 (World English Bible – WEB Translation)

1 God presides in the great assembly.
He judges among the gods.

2 “How long will you judge unjustly,
and show partiality to the wicked?” Selah.

3 “Defend the weak, the poor, and the fatherless.
Maintain the rights of the oppressed and destitute.

4 Rescue the weak and needy.
Deliver them out of the hand of the wicked.”

5 They don’t know, neither do they understand.
They walk back and forth in darkness.
All the foundations of the earth are shaken.

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

7 Nevertheless you shall die like men,
and fall like one of the rulers.”

8 Arise, God, judge the earth,
for you inherit all of the nations.
