The earth's foundations all are mov'd, 6. I said that ye were Gods, yea all The sons of God Most High; 7. But ye shall die like men, and fall As other princes die. 8. Rise, God; judge thou the earth in might, This wicked earth redress; For thou art he who shall by right The nations all possess. PSALM LXXXII. 1. God in the great assembly stands 2. How long will ye pervert the right With judgement false and wrong, Favouring the wicked by your might, Who thence grow bold and strong? 3. Regard the weak and fatherless, 4. Defend the poor and desolate, Of wicked men the low estate 5. They know not, nor will understand, In darkness they walk on The earth's foundations all are mov'd, 6. I said that ye were Gods, yea all The sons of God Most High; 7. But ye shall die like men, and fall As other princes die. 8. Rise, God; judge thou the earth în might, This wicked earth redress; For thou art he who shall by right The nations all possess. PSALM LXXXIII. 1. Be not thou silent now at length, 2. For lo, thy furious foes now swell, And storm outrageously ; And they that hate thee, proud and fell, Exalt their heads full high. 3. Against thy people they contrive 4. Come, let us cut them off, say they, Till they no nation be; That Israel's name for ever may Be lost in memory. 5. For they consult with all their might, And all, as one in mind, Themselves against thee they unite, 6. The tents of Edom, and the brood Of scornful Ishmael, Moab, with them of Hagar's brood 7. Gebal and Ammon there conspire, 8. With them great Ashur also bands, And doth confirm the knot: All these have lent their armed hands To aid the sons of Lot. 9. Do to them as to Midian bold, That wasted all the coast; To Sisera; and, as is told, Thou didst to Jabin's host, When, at the brook of Kishon old, They were repuls'd and slain, 10. At Endor quite cut off, and roll'd As dung upon the plain. |
