PSAL. LXXXII by John Milton Lyrics

Genre: misc | Year: 1864

1          GOD in the *great *assembly stands *Bagnadath-el
         Of Kings and lordly States,
         Among the gods* on both his hands. *Bekerev.
         He judges and debates.

2          How long will ye *pervert the right *Tishphetu
         With *judgment false and wrong gnavel.
         Favouring the wicked by your might,
         Who thence grow bold and strong?

3         *Regard the *weak and fatherless *Shiphtu-dal.
        *Dispatch the *poor mans cause,
         And **raise the man in deep distress
         By **just and equal Lawes. **Hatzdiku.

4          Defend the poor and desolate,
         And rescue from the hands
         Of wicked men the low estate
        Of him that help demands.

5         They know not nor will understand,
        In darkness they walk on,
        The Earths foundations all are *mov'd *Jimmotu.
        And *out of order gon.
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, *Shiphta.
        For thou art he who shalt by right
        The Nations all possess.
