#21751 - ARISE, O GOD, JUDGE THE EARTH

God in the great assembly stands Of kings and lordly states, Among the gods, on both His hands He judges and debates.

How long will ye pervert the right With judgment false and wrong, Fav'ring the wicked by your might, Who thence grow bold and strong?

Regard the weak and fatherless, Dispatch the poor man's cause, And raise the man in deep distress, By just and equal laws.

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 earth's foundations all are moved, And out of order gone.

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, For Thou art He who shalt by right The nations all possess.
