It is very important to respect the Word of God. Respect it for what it says and what it means. The meaning of the Word does to some degree depend on the time it was written and the meaning behind some terms and references.
There conflicting accounts on who the ‘gods’ are mentioned in this Psalm. It is important when you consider Jesus would refer to verse 6 as part of His effort to get his opponents to see who He was.
What is not so much in conflict is God’s charge to the ‘gods’ to be swift in dealing with the problem of the injustices pervading throughout the country. The stench of injustice really affects relationships with God. That’s why it doesn’t pay much to offer lip service. What it pays to do is to pay careful attention to the surrounding area and know when it’s time to act.
Of course, Da
For His Name’s Sake
Shalom
