land of Egypt; open your mouth wide, and I shall fill it. 11 But my
people would not hear my voice, and Israel would not obey me. 12 So I
gave them up to the stubbornness of their hearts, and let them follow
their own imaginations. 13 Oh, that my people would have hearkened
unto me, that Israel had walked in my ways. 14 I would soon have put
down their enemies and turned my hand against their adversaries.
15
The haters of the Lord would humble themselves before him, and
their time of punishment would endure for ever. 16 But Israel would I
feed with the finest wheat-flour, and with honey out of the stony rock
would I satisfy him.”
PSALM 82 ~ 1 God stands in the council of princes; he is a Judge
among gods. ² “How long will you give wrong judgment and accept
the ungodly? ³ Defend the poor and fatherless; see that those who
are in need and necessity have what is right. 4 Deliver the outcast and
poor; save them from the hand of the ungodly.” 5 They will not learn
nor understand, but walk about in darkness; all the foundations of
the earth are shaken. 6 I have said, “You are gods, and you are all the
children of the Most High; 7 But you shall die like mortals, and fall like
one of the princes.” 8 Arise, O God, and judge the earth, for you shall
take all nations for your inheritance.

PSALM 57 ~ 1 Be merciful to me, O God, be merciful to me, for my
soul trusts in you, and under the shadow of your wings shall be my
refuge, until this tribulation has passed. ² I will call unto the Most
High God, even unto the God who shall fulfill his purpose for me.
³ He shall send from heaven and save me; he shall confound those
who trample on me. God shall send forth his mercy and truth.

My soul is among lions that devour the people; their teeth are
spears and arrows, and their tongue a sharp sword. 5 Exalt yourself, O
God, above the heavens; let your glory be over all the earth. 6 They
have laid a net for my feet, and brought down my soul; they dug a pit
before me, but have fallen into the midst of it themselves. 7 My heart
is firmly fixed, O God, my heart is fixed; I will sing and give praise.
8
Awake, my soul; awake, lute and harp; I myself will awaken the
dawn. 9 I will give thanks unto you, O Lord, among the peoples,
and I will sing praises unto you among the nations. 10 For the
greatness of your mercy reaches unto the heavens, and your truth
