God in the great Assembly sits

Appears in 1 hymnal Scripture: Psalm 82 Lyrics: 1 God in the great Assembly sits, Enthron'd, where his impartial Eye In State surveys the Earthly Gods, and does their weaker Judgments try. How can ye then unjustly judge; And be to daring Sinners kind? Strive ye the Orphans to defend, And let the Poor your Justice find. 2 Protect the humble helpless Man, When he's reduc'd to deep Distress, And let not him become a Prey. To such as would his Soul oppress. They neither know, nor will they learn, But blindly roving, go stray; Justice and Truth, the World's Support, Are now beginning to decay. 3 Well then may GOD, in Anger, say, "I've call'd you by my sacred Name, "I've said ye're GOD's, the Sons and Heirs "Of Glory and immortal Fame, "But ne'ertheless, your unjust Deeds, "To strict Account I'll surely call; "You all shall die like common Men, "like other haughty Tyrants fall. 4 Arise, and thy just Judgments, LORD, Throughout th'astonish'd World display, And all the Nations of the Earth, Shall own thy everlasting Sway. Topics: Description of Duty of Judges and Magistrates; Thanksgivings For diverse Mercies shown to the Chruch Used With Tune: [God, in the great Assembly sits]

A Psalm of Asaph

Appears in 1 hymnal Scripture: Psalm 82 First Line: The mighty God doth stand within Lyrics: 1 The mighty God doth stand within Th' assembly of the strong And he it is that righteously Doth judge the gods among. 2 Give judgment of unrighteousness How long a time will ye? Will ye accept the countenance Of those that wicked be? 3 See that the needy ye defend, Also the fatherless: Unto th' afflicted justice do, And to them in distress. 4 The wasted poor and those that are In need deliver ye: And them redeem out of the hand Of such as wicked be. 5 They know not, nor will understand, In darkness they walk on. The earth's foundations all of them quite out of course are gone. 6 I said that ye were gods, likewise, Sons of the highest all: 7 But ye shall die like men, and like One of the princes fall. 8 That thou may'st judge the earth, O God, Do thou thy self advance: For thou shalt have the nations all For thine inheritance.

In vain perversely, princes, you surmise

Appears in 1 hymnal Scripture: Psalm 82 Lyrics: 1 In vain perversely, princes, you surmise, God views your judgments with regardless eyes; Lo! in the midst he stands, your ways beholds, And thus in thunder his dread wrath unfolds. 2 "How long thus partial will ye judge? how long "Support their cause, who in their guilt are strong? 3 "Ah! rather the distressed orphan view, "And to the cause of innocence be true; 4 "Ah! free the wretched from th' oppressive foe, "And do the poor the justice that you owe. 5 "Vainly I warn them; obstinately blind; "A fatal error chains their stubborn mind; "In guilt they're resolute, and won't observe "The dire result, when they from justice swerve, 6 "I cal'd you gods, to you the pow'r I gave, "To slay th' oppressor, and th' opprest to save; "On you my own prerogative bestow'd, "To curb the villain, and protect the good. 7 "But now grim death, with all his horrid train, "Shall soon convince you, that you are but men, "Shall sink your boasted honours in the grave, "And make you equal with the meanest slave, 8 Yes; Lord Jehovah, thou vindictive rise; To thee ascend the orphan's plaintive cries, Judge thou the earth, and make fell tyrants know Thou rul'st, impartial, all the realms below.
