The Hebrew Psalms in English Verse
Psalm 82
Abraham Coles
The mighty God of Heaven
In His assembly stands,
Judging the gods who judge below —
The princes of the lands.
2 "How long will ye judge wrong;
Just laws corruptly wrest?
3 Right ye the weak and fatherless,
4 And rescue th'opprest!"
5 Perversely, they prefer
In darkness still to walk;
The earth's foundations shake, while they
The ends of justice balk.
6 "Though I said, 'Ye are gods,
All sons of the Most High,'
7 Yet ye shall from your places fall.
Like common men shall die!"
8 Arise, O God! and judge
The earth in righteousness:
Assert thy claim, whose right it is
All nations to possess!
