Psalm 82

^{1 !} The Prophet declaring God to be present among the Judges and Magistrates.

^{1 a} The Prophet sheweth that if princes and judges do not their duetie, God, whose autoritie is aboue them, wil take vengeance on them.

^{2 b} For theues and murderes finde fauour in judgement, when the cause of the godlie can not be heard.

^{2 !} Reproueth their parcialitie.

^{3 !} And exhorteth them to do justice.

^{4 c} Not onely when they crye for helpe, but when their cause requireth aide & support.

^{5 d} That is, all things are out of ordre, ether by their tyranie or careles negligence.

^{5 !} But seing none amendement

^{7 e} No title honour shal excuse you, but you shalbe subject to Gods judgement, and render a compt as wel as other men.

^{8 f} Therefore not tyrant shal plucke thy right & autoritie from thee.

^{8 !} He desireth God to vndertake the matter & execute justice him self.
