The Psalmistry

Original Music for the 150 Psalms


TO THE POWERS OF EARTH (PSALM 82) (CCLI 4434564)

1. To the powers of earth ev'rywhere,
see the poor, see all those needing care.
Heed the call for your help, or beware:
though you be high,
just as surely you die!

Refrain

Rise up, O God!
Judge the earth, O Lord!
God be there.
God be there.
Rise up, O God!
Judge the earth, O Lord!
God be there.
God be there.

2. Though entrusted with riches and might,
why do you not do what is right?
Can you not understand, see the light?
Soon will you know,
as God snuffs out your souls!
