Psal. 2.
Why
do the Gentils tumults make,
And nations all conspire in vain,
And earthly Princes counsell take
Against their God; against the raigne
Of his deere Christ? let vs, they saine,
Break al their bonds: & from vs shake
Their thraldoms yoke, & seruile chain.
VVhiles thus alas they fondly spake,
And nations all conspire in vain,
And earthly Princes counsell take
Against their God; against the raigne
Of his deere Christ? let vs, they saine,
Break al their bonds: & from vs shake
Their thraldoms yoke, & seruile chain.
VVhiles thus alas they fondly spake,
He that aloft rides on the skies,
Laughs all their leud deuise to scorne
And when his wrathfull rage shal rise,
With plagues shal make the al forlorne,
And in his fury thus replyes;
But I, my King with sacred horne
Anointing, shall in princely guise
His headwith royall crowne adorne.
Laughs all their leud deuise to scorne
And when his wrathfull rage shal rise,
With plagues shal make the al forlorne,
And in his fury thus replyes;
But I, my King with sacred horne
Anointing, shall in princely guise
His headwith royall crowne adorne.
Upon my Syons holy mount
His Empires glorious seat shall be.
And I thus rais'd shall farre recount
The tenour of his true decree:
My Son thou art, said God, I thee
Begat this daie by due account:
Thy scepter, do but ask of mee,
All earthly kingdomes shall surmount.
His Empires glorious seat shall be.
And I thus rais'd shall farre recount
The tenour of his true decree:
My Son thou art, said God, I thee
Begat this daie by due account:
Thy scepter, do but ask of mee,
All earthly kingdomes shall surmount.
All nations, to thy rightfull sway,
will subiect; from furthest end
Of all the world: and thou shalt bray
Those stubborn foes that wil not bend,
With iron mace (like potters clay)
In pieces small: Ye Kings attend;
And ye, whom others wont obay,
Learne wisedome, and at last amend.
