8 Arise, O God, judge the earth: for thou shalt inherit all nations.
8 Rise up, O God, judge the earth, for all the nations are your inheritance.
8 Arise, O God, judge the earth; for you shall inherit all the nations!
8 O God, give them their just deserts! You've got the whole world in your hands!
8 Arise, O God, judge the earth; For You shall inherit all nations.
8 Rise up, OÂ God, and judge the earth, for all the nations belong to you.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Psalm 82:8
Commentary on Psalm 82:6-8
(Read Psalm 82:6-8)
It is hard for men to have honour put upon them, and not to be proud of it. But all the rulers of the earth shall die, and all their honour shall be laid in the dust. God governs the world. There is a righteous God to whom we may go, and on whom we may depend. This also has respect to the kingdom of the Messiah. Considering the state of affairs in the world, we have need to pray that the Lord Jesus would speedily rule over all nations, in truth, righteousness, and peace.
