Psalm 82
God stands and judges midst the gods
from the Scottish Psalter, 1650; rev. #doreancon, 2026 · 8.6.8.6
1.God stands and judges midst the gods,
th'assembly of the strong;
How long, accepting persons vile,
will ye give judgment wrong?
2.Defend the poor and fatherless;
to poor oppressed do right.
The poor and needy ones set free;
rid them from ill men's might.
3.They know not, nor will understand;
in darkness they walk on:
All the foundations of the earth
out of their course are gone.
4.I said that ye are gods, and are
sons of the Highest all:
But ye shall die like men, and as
one of the princes fall.
5.O God, do thou raise up thyself,
the earth to judgment call:
For thou, as thine inheritance,
shalt take the nations all.
