2

Why do the nations conspire
And the peoples plot in vain?
The kings of the earth rise up
And the rulers band together against

Against the Lord and His anointed, saying
“Let us break their chains
And throw off their shackles
Throw off the shackles through the pain”

The One enthroned in heaven laughs
The Lord scoffs at them
He does rebuke them in His anger
And terrifies them

He terrifies them in His wrath
He’s saying “I’ve installed my king
On Zion, on my holy mountain
Can’t you see?”

I will proclaim the Lord’s decree:
He said to me, “You are my son
Today I have become your father
It is now done

Ask me, and I will make the nations Your inheritance
The ends of earth Your possession
You will break them with a rod of iron
You will dash them to pieces like pottery. Nothing more to mention”

Therefore, you kings, be wise
Be warned, you rulers of the earth
Do celebrate His rule with trembling
And with the fear you serve the Lord

Kiss His son, or He’ll be angry
And your way’ll lead to your defeat
For His wrath can flare up in moment
Blessed are all who take refuge in Him, who’ll always be
