Psalms of David 2
2
Quare fremuerunt?
Psalm II.
T. S.
1Why did the Gentiles tumults raise?
what rage was in their brain?
Why do the people still contrive
a thing that is but vain?
2The Kings and rulers of the earth
conspire, and are all bent
Against the Lord, and Christ his Son,
which he among us sent.
3Shall we be bound to them? say they;
let all their bonds be broke
And of their Doctrine and their Law
let us reject the yoke.
4But he that in the Heaven dwells,
their doings will deride:
And make them all as mocking‐stocks,
throughout the world so wide.
5For in his wrath he shall reprove
their pride and scornful way:
And in his fury trouble them,
and unto them shall say,
6I have anointed him my King
upon my holy hill:
I will therefore, Lord, preach thy law,
according to thy will.
7The Law whereof the Lord himself
hath thus said unto me,
Thou art my only Son, this day
have I begotten thee.
8All people I will give to thee,
as heirs at thy request:
The ends and coasts of all the earth
by thee shall be possest.
9Thou shalt them bruise even like to those,
that under Foot are trod:
And as a potters vessel break
them with an iron rod.
10Now ye, O Kings and Rulers all,
be wise therefore and learn’d,
By whom the matters of the world
be judged and discerned.
11See that ye serve the Lord above,
in trembling and in fear:
See that with reverence ye rejoice
when ye to him draw near.
12See that ye kiss and do embrace
his Son without delay:
Lest in his wrath ye suddenly
perish from the right‐way.
13If once his wrath never so small
shall kindle in his breast:
Then only they that trust in Christ
shall happy be, and blest.
