Psalm 82 [Among Th' Assemblies Of The Great]

Title:     Psalm 82 [Among Th' Assemblies Of The Great]
Author: Isaac Watts [More Titles by Watts]

God the supreme Governor;
or, Magistrates warned.

Among th' assemblies of the great,
A greater Ruler takes his seat;
The God of heaven, as Judge, surveys
Those gods on earth and all their ways.

Why will ye then frame wicked laws?
Or why support th' unrighteous cause?
When will ye once defend the poor,
That sinners vex the saints no more?

They know not, Lord, nor will they know,
Dark are the ways in which they go;
Their name of earthly gods is vain,
For they shall fall and die like men.

Arise, O Lord, and let thy Son
Possess his universal throne,
And rule the nations with his rod;
He is our judge, and he our God.

[The end]
Isaac Watts's poem: Psalm 82 [Among Th' Assemblies Of The Great]
