Psalm II

Why doe the nations thus in furie rise?
Why doe the people such vaine plotts deuise?
MONARCHES stand vp and PRINCES doe conspire
Against the Lord, and His Annoynted Heire:
'Let vs in sunder breake their bandes,' say they,
'And let vs lightly cast their yokes away.'
But Hee that sitts in Heauen shall them deride,
And laugh to scorne their follie and their pride;
And in His wrath He shall reproue them sore,
And vex them in His anger, more and more:
Sayinge, 'I sett on SION hill My KINGE,
To preache my LAWE, and shew this heauenly thinge;
Thou art My SONNE, this day I Thee begott,
Aske, and I will assigne thee for Thy Lott
Of heritage the Landes and Nations all,
Betweene the Sunne's vprisinge & his fall.'
Thou with an iron rodd shall keepe them vnder,
And breake them like an earthen pott in sunder,
Bee wise, yee MONARCHES, and yee PRINCES then;
Be learnèd, yee that judge the sonnes of men;
Serue yee the Lord, with humble feare Him serue;
Rejoyce in Him, yet tremblinge Him obserue;
Kisse yee the SONNE, lest yee Him angrie make,
And perish, while His just wayes yee forsake,
If His just wrath but once enkinled bee:
Who trust in Him, a blessed man is hee.
