Deus stetit
Author: J. H. Hymnal: The Whole Booke of Psalmes #46 (1640) First Line: Amid the presse with men of might Lyrics: 1 Amid the presse with men of might
the Lord himselfe doth stand,
To plead the cause of truth and right,
with judges of the land.
2 How long (said he) will you proceed,
false judgement to award
And have respect for love of meed,
the wicked to regard.
3 Whereas of due you should defend
the fatherlesse and weak:
And when the poore man doth contend,
in judgement justly speak.
4 If ye be wise, defend the cause
of poore men in their right:
And rid the needy from the clawes
of tyrants force and might.
5 But nothing will they know or learne,
in vaine to them I talk:
They will not see, or ought discerne,
but still in darknesse walk.
For lo, even now the time is come,
that all things fall to nought:
And likewise lawes both all and some,
for gaine are sold and bought.
I had decreed it my sight,
as gods to take you all:
And children to the most of might,
for love I did you call.
7 But notwithstanding ye shall die
as men, and so decay:
O tyrants I shall you destroy,
and pluck you quite away.
8 Up, Lord, and let thy strength be known,
and judge the world with might:
For why? all nations are thy own,
to take them as thy right. Scripture: Psalm 82 Languages: English
Deus stetit
Among the princes, men of might
Author: J. H. Hymnal: The Whole Book of Psalms #LXXXII (1790) Lyrics: 1 Among the princes, men of might,
the Lord himself doth stand,
To plead the cause of truth and right
with judges of the land.
2 How long, saith he, will ye proceed
false judgement to award?
Why have ye partially agreed
the wicked to regard?
3 Whereas of right ye should defend
the fatherless and weak;
And when the poor man doth contend,
in judgement justly speak.
4 If ye be wise, defend the cause
of poor men in their right,
And rid the needy from the claws
of tyrants force and might.
5 They will not learn nor understand,
but still in darkness go;
All the foundations of the laud
are out of course also.
6 I had decreed assuredly
as gods to take you all;
Children also of the most High,
for love I did you call:
7 But notwithstanding ye shall die
as men, and so decay;
O tyrants, you destroy will I,
and pluck you quite away.
8 Up, Lord, and let thy strength be known,
and judge the world with might:
For why? all nations are thy own,
to take them as thy right. Scripture: Psalm 82 Languages: English
Among the princes, men of might
