Second Psalm
First Part.
O Lord, why should the heathen rage,
Or vanity the people know?
Or why should kings together sit
And rulers to their councils go?
Or vanity the people know?
Or why should kings together sit
And rulers to their councils go?
Why should they all united be
Messiah's reign to thus oppose?
Or why His bands assunder break
And cast His cords unto his foes?
Messiah's reign to thus oppose?
Or why His bands assunder break
And cast His cords unto his foes?
15
But soon on that eternal Throne,
Shall He not laugh their deeds to scorn,
And in their hearts vex them with wrath,
That He may all the Future warn?
Shall He not laugh their deeds to scorn,
And in their hearts vex them with wrath,
That He may all the Future warn?
Almighty God, 'tis Thy decree
That Zion's King shall ever reign;
This day have I begotten Thee,
And I this day will Thee ordain.
That Zion's King shall ever reign;
This day have I begotten Thee,
And I this day will Thee ordain.
May 4, 1877.
