Psal. 82. Deus stetit in Synagoga.
Psalmus Asaphi.
1
With Princes (peoples heads) the headof Princes, God doth stand,
Great Judge amidst the gods to plead,
with Judges of the land.
2
How long will ye Judge evill good,in wrongs no measure kept:
Of wicked heads, preferre the hood,
the faces, well accept?
3
The weake, and fatherlesse befriend,that Justice judge them right;
The needy and distrest defend,
from over-bearing might.
4
The weakling, and the poore discharge,that they may live un-harm'd,
Them, from the powerfull hand enlarge,
which wickednesse hath arm'd.
162
5
They know not, neither understand,their walkes in darknesse end:
Move all foundations of the Land,
it moves them not to mend.
6
That ye are Gods, so said have I,sons of the Highest, all:
7
Yet sure, ye Gods, like men shall die,and, one with Princes, fall.
8
Great Judge on earth, of Kingdomes King,thy selfe, O God, advance:
For, all the Nations shalt thou bring
to thine Inheritance.
