Why do my foes insult and cry,

Where shall the righteous seek redress?

His eye surveys the world below;
To him all mortal things are known;

To prove their love, and try their grace,

Such as he kindled on the plain
Of Sodom, with his angry breath.

Psalm 58
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #Ps.128 (1806) Meter: 8.8.8.8.8.8 Topics: Evil magistrates First Line: Judges, who rule the world by laws Lyrics:
Judges, who rule the world by laws,
Will ye despise the righteous cause,
When th' injured poor before you stands?
Dare ye condemn the righteous poor,
And let rich sinners 'scape secure,
While gold and greatness bribe your hands?
Have ye forgot, or never knew,
That God will judge the judges too?
High in the heav'ns his justice reigns;
Yet you invade the rights of God,
And send your bold decrees abroad,
To bind the conscience in your chains.
A poisoned arrow is your tongue,
The arrow sharp, the poison strong,
And death attends where'er it wounds:
You hear no counsels, cries, or tears;
So the deaf adder stops her ears
Against the power of charming sounds.
Break out their teeth, eternal God,
Those teeth of lions dyed in blood;
And crush the serpents in the dust:
As empty chaff when whirlwinds rise
Before the sweeping tempest flies,
So let their hopes and names be lost.
Th' Almighty thunders from the sky,
Their grandeur melts, their titles die,
As hills of snow dissolve and run,
Or snails that perish in their slime,
Or births that come before their time,
Vain births, that never see the sun.
Thus shall the vengeance of the Lord
Safety and joy to saints afford;
And all that hear shall join and say,
"Sure there's a God that rules on high,
A God that hears his children cry,
And will their suff'rings well repay."

Psalm 82
Author: Isaac Watts Hymnal: Psalms and Hymns of Isaac Watts, The #Ps.172 (1806) Meter: 8.8.8.8 Topics: Evil magistrates First Line: Among th' assemblies of the great Lyrics:
Among th' assemblies of the great
A greater Ruler takes his seat;
The God of heav'n, 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.

Judges, who rule the World by Laws
Hymnal: The Psalms of David #P58 (1766) Topics: Evil Magistrates Lyrics: 1 Judges, who rule the World by Laws,
Will ye despise the righteous Cause,
When th' injur'd Poor before you stands?
Dare ye condemn the righteous Poor,
And let rich Sinners 'scape secure,
While Gold & Greatness bribe your Hands?
2 Have ye forgot, or never knew,
That GOD will judge the Judges too?
High in the Heav'ns his Justice reigns;
Yet you invade the Rights of GOD,
And send your bold Decrees abroad,
To bind the Conscience in your Chains.
3 A poison'd Arrow is your Tongue,
The Arrow sharp, the Poison strong,
And Death attends where'er it wounds:
You hear no Counsels, Cries, or Tears;
So the deaf Adder stops her Ears
Against the Pow'r of charming Sounds.
4 Break out their Teeth, eternal GOD,
Those Teeth of Lions dy'd in Blood;
And crush the serpents in the Dust:
As empty Chaff when Whirlwinds rise
Before the sweeping Tempest flies,
So let their Hopes and Names be lost.
5 Th' Almighty thunders from the Sky,
Their Grandeur melts, their Titles die,
As Hills of Snow dissolve and run,
Or Snails that perish in their Slime,
Or Births that come before their Time,
Vain Births that never see the Sun.
6 Thus shall the Vengeance of the Lord
Safety and Joy to Saints afford;
And all that hear shall join and say,
"Sure there's a GOD that rules on high,
"A GOD that hears his Children cry,
"And will their Suff'rings well repay." Scripture: Psalm 58 Languages: English

A greater Ruler takes his Seat;
The GOD of Heav'n, as Judge surveys
Those Gods on Earth, and all their Ways.
2 Why will ye, then, frame wicked Laws?
Or why support th' unrighteous Cause?

That Sinners vex the Saints no more?
3 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.
3 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.
