- Before reading through Psalms 82, it would be in order to re-read Isaiah 3:13 and Ezekiel 28:1-10; is there a relationship between those passages and this Psalm?
- What is the “Divine Assembly” — angels? Or an imagined assemblage of various pagan divinities?
- With what, in Psalms 82:2, does God charge the assembled?
- And, what should the assembled have done in the mandate of Psalms 82:3-4?
- Does Psalms 82:5 seem to have been written by one who was a worshiper of pagan divinities but now realizes that he was in error?
- Indeed, does Psalms 82:6 not specifically say that — if the “I” in this passage is the Psalmist?
- In conclusion, then, what has the Psalmist asserted as to his theology now?
