Old Testament

Psalms 82:1-8 Metrical Psalms 1650 (MP1650)

1. In gods' assembly God doth stand;he judgeth gods among.

2. How long, accepting persons vile,will ye give judgment wrong?

3. Defend the poor and fatherless;to poor oppress'd do right.

4. The poor and needy ones set free;rid them from ill men's might.

5. They know not, nor will understand;in darkness they walk on:All the foundations of the earthout of their course are gone.

6. I said that ye are gods, and aresons of the Highest all:

7. But ye shall die like men, and asone of the princes fall.

8. O God, do thou raise up thyself,the earth to judgment call:For thou, as thine inheritance,shalt take the nations all.
