Psalm 2

WHat moves the Gentiles thus to rage,
and up in tumults rise?
Why do the people such vain things
imagine and devise?
The Kings stood up, the Counsellors
in one consulting were
Against Jehovah, and his one
anointed one most deare.

Let us resolve to break their bonds,
and chains in two (say they)
And their thick twisted cords from us,
let us cast clean away:
But he that in the Heavens high,
sits quietly, doth smile;
And in derision God shall have
their vain attempts the while.

Then in his indignation,
the Lord to them shall say,
And in his burning fury them
shall trouble in that day.
But I my self anointed have
my King, and setled well
Upon Mount Zion, where I cause
my Holinesse to dwell.

My self will publish and declare
as his most firm decree,
God said to me, Thou art my son,
to day begat I thee.
Ask me the Heathen, i'le give them
an heritage to thee;
The ends, and coasts of all the earth,
shall thy possession bee.

And thou shalt the rebellious break
with a strong iron rod;
And as a potters vessel thou
shalt dash them all abroad.
Now then you Kings and Potentates
be wise and understand,
And learn and be instructed all
you Judges of the Land.

The Lord Jehovah see you serve,
with reverent holy fear;
When you rejoice in him, let still
trembling of heart appear.
Submit with kissings to the Son,
and him in love obay,
Lest else he angry wax, and so
you perish in the way.

If but a little once his wrath
shall kindle in his brest,
O then, all they that trust in him,
shall happy be and blest.
