PSALM 2
Common Meter: 8,6,8,6
1Why rage the heathen?
and vain things why do the people mind?
2Kings of the earth do set themselves,
and princes are combin'd,
To plot against the Lord, and his
Anointed, saying thus,
3Let us asunder break their bands,
and cast their cords from us.
4He that in heaven sits shall laugh;
the Lord shall scorn them all.
5Then shall he speak to them in wrath,
in rage he vex them shall.
6Yet, notwithstanding,
I have him to be my King appointed;
And over Sion, my holy hill,
I have him King anointed.
7The sure decree I will declare:
The Lord hath said to me,
Thou art mine only Son;
this day I have begotten thee.
8Ask of me, and for heritage
the heathen I'll make thine;
And, for possession, I to thee
will give earth's utmost line.
9Thou shalt, as with a weighty rod
of iron, break them all;
And, as a potter's sherd, thou shalt
them dash in pieces small.
10Now therefore, kings, be wise;
be taught, ye judges of the earth:
11Serve God in fear, and see that
ye join trembling with your mirth.
12Kiss ye the Son, lest in his ire
ye perish from the way,
If once his wrath begin to burn:
bless'd all that on him stay.

Psalms 2
2
PSALM 2
1Why gnashed with teeth heathen men; and peoples thought vain things?
2The kings of earth stood together; and princes came together against the Lord, and against his Christ.
3Break we the bonds of them; and cast we away the yoke of them from us.
4He that dwelleth in heavens shall scorn them; and the Lord shall bemock them.
5Then he shall speak to them in his wrath; and he shall trouble them in his strong vengeance.
6Soothly I am ordained of him a king upon Zion, his holy hill;
7preaching his commandment. The Lord said to me, Thou art my son; I have begotten thee today.
8Ask thou of me, and I shall give to thee heathen men for thine heritage; and for thy possession the terms of earth.
9Thou shalt govern them in an iron rod; and thou shalt break them altogether as the vessel of a potter.
10And now, ye kings, understand; ye that deem the earth, be ye learned.
11Serve ye the Lord with dread; and make ye full out joy to him with trembling.
12Take ye lore of chastising; lest the Lord be wroth sometime, and ye perish from the just way. When his wrath shall burn out in short time; blessed be all they, that trust in him.
