Psalm 82
John Milton
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. 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? *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. Defend the poor and desolate, And rescue from the hands Of wicked men the low estate Of him that help demands. They know not nor will understand, In darkness they walk on, The Earths foundations all are *mov'd *Jimmotu. And *out of order gon. I said that ye were Gods, yea all The Sons of God most high But ye shall die like men, and fall As other Princes die. 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.
