Book of Psalms
PSALM LXXXII.
George Burgess
God stands amidst the throng
Of men in godlike place:
\"How long in judgment give ye wrong,
And fear th' unrighteous face?
Guard ye the orphan's right;
Be each the suff'rer's mend;
And from th' oppressor's iron might
The guiltless poor defend.\"
They will not know, nor hear;
In darkness on they go;
While earth, o'erwhelm'd with crime and fear,
Heaves its deep base below.
I said, \"as gods ye reign,
Children of God most High;\"
But ye are still a mortal train,
E'en princes, doom'd to die.
O mighty God, arise;
O'er earth in judgment shine:
For all beneath the spreading skies,
All tribes and realms, are thine.
