Psal. 2. Quare fremuerunt?
1
Why doe the Heathen-pow'rs,and people entertaine;
The Heathens, such tumultuous rage,
the people, plots so vaine?
2
Kings of the earth conspire,and Princes counsell take
Against the Lord, against his Christ,
a powerfull head to make.
3
In sunder let us breaketheir servile bands (say they)
Their yoke from off our neckes discharge,
and cast their cords away.
4
But Hee, in Heaven abovethat sits, and sees their pride,
Shall laugh their vanities to scorne,
the Lord shall them deride.
5
To them then shall he speake,in his resistlesse ire;
And their affrighted soules shall feele
his furie burne like fire.
6
Yet, mine Annointed Kingupon mine holy Hill,
Upon Mount Zion have I set.
I shall declare the will,
7
Of which Decree the Lordhath given the charge to mee:
3
have I begotten Thee.
8
Aske, I to thee will givethe Heathens world of ground
For thine inheritance, possesse
as farre as earth hath bound.
9
Thou with an iron rodshalt stripe their stubborne hides;
Or, like a Potters brittle shards,
in pieces dash their sides.
10
Now then, O Kings, be wise,and ye that judge the Land,
Be well instructed what ye judge,
judge what ye understand.
11
Serve ye the Lord in feare,in feare and joy betwixt;
A joyfull feare, a trembling joy,
delight and dutie mixt.
12
Embrace and kisse the Sonne,lest through your cold delay,
His wroth contemning your contempt,
ye perish in the way.
If but a little while
his anger'd patience burne;
For safety they that hope in Him,
have all a happy turne.
