Bay Psalm Book: Psalm 2

PSALM II

¹ WHy rage the Heathen furiously? muse vaine things people do; ² Kings of the earth doe set themselves, Princes consult also:

with one consent against the Lord, and his anoynted one. ³ Let us asunder break their bands, their cords bee from us throwne.

⁴ Who sits in heav’n shall laugh; the lord will mock them; then will he ⁵ Speak to them in his ire, and wrath: and vex them suddenlie.

⁶ But I annoynted have my King upon my holy hill ⁷ of Zion: The established counsell decare I will.

God spake to me, thou art my Son: this day I thee begot. ⁸ Aske thou of me, and I will give the Heathen for thy lot:

and of the earth thou shalt possesse the utmost coasts abroad. ⁹ thou shalt them break as Potters sherds and crush with yron rod.

¹⁰ And now yee Kings be wise, be learn’d yee Iudges of th’ earth (Heare.) ¹¹ Serve yee the lord with reverence, rejoyce in him with feare.

¹² Kisse yee the Sonne, lest he be wroth, and yee fall in the way. when his wrath quickly burnes, oh blest are all that on him stay.
