God the supreme Governor; or, Magistrates warned. <br /> <br />Among th' assemblies of the great <br />A greater Ruler takes his seat; <br />The God of heav'n, as Judge, surveys <br />Those gods on earth, and all their ways. <br /> <br />Why will ye, then, frame wicked laws? <br />Or why support th' unrighteous cause? <br />When will ye once defend the poor, <br />That sinners vex the saints no more? <br /> <br />They know not, Lord, nor will they know; <br />Dark are the ways in which they go; <br />Their name of earthly gods is vain, <br />For they shall fall and die like men. <br /> <br />Arise, O Lord, and let thy Son <br />Possess his universal throne, <br />And rule the nations with his rod; <br />He is our Judge, and he our God.<br /><br />Isaac Watts<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/psalm-82-2/
