By Asaph – the Levite
God judge the judges
The “gods” (NIV) or “rulers” (NASB) refers to God’s people in a position of influence. Since we are His people, we represent Him on earth & it’s the Lord’s desire that we are just, kind & obey Him.
The judges described here did not judge justly v2, nor were they merciful v3-4 and they walked in defiance to God’s will v5.
Asaph prayed that God will act & be the Judge above all our affairs.
Application:
Some of us might think, this applies only to leaders or adults. Right & wrong. This Psalm applies to all! We all have some form of influence in our lives: Influence over our maids, friends, classmates or perhaps you are a leader in your class, cell etc. How are you pleasing the Great Judge in the way we treat others?
