PSAL. LXXXII.
Sing this as the Prayer after the
Commandements.
1.
GOd in the great assembly sits;To Kings and Judges judgment fits.
2.
How long the right will ye reject,And persons of the bad respect?
3.
The poor and fatherlesse defend,Justice to men opprest extend:
4.
Deliver those in need that stand,And save them from the wicked's hand.
5.
They will not understand, nor know;But in the mists of darknes go.Earths bases all are out of course,Whil'st justice failes, and Law wants force.
6.
I said, that Kings are Gods on earth,And sons deriv'd from highest birth.
7.
But ye like other men shall dy,And with the fallen Princes ly.
8.
O God! whose pow'r doth all comprise,In judgment on the earth arise.For all the nations scatter'd far,Thy lot, and Tributaries are.
