Chapter 81

Having spoken in the previous psalm about the rejection of the people, here he sets out more clearly the reasons why God rejected the Israelites.
Ps.81:1. God of one hundred in the host of gods.
He called the princes of the Jews, who were called the sons of God, gods. Therefore, God stood in the midst of them during His saving coming, in order to judge them, exposing their deeds.
Ps.81:2. How long will you judge unrighteously?
He exposes the untruths they have shown to the people.
Ps.81:5. Let all the foundations of the earth move.
“The foundations of the earth” he calls the princes of this age, who before the Jewish people suffered punishment, and deprived of the opportunity to torment us, were expelled according to the word spoken to us: “now the prince of this world will be cast out” (John 12:31). And they moved from their previous position, because they were the first to be overthrown by the cross of the Savior. And since the people of Israel were also rejected, after the Gospel was preached to all nations, he then added:
Ps.81:6. Az reh: bozi este
Ps.81:7. You, like men, are dying, and like you alone are falling from princes.
What princes? Is it not those whom not long before he called the moving foundations of the earth?
