Psalm 2 (tune: 8.8.8.8 #892 With All the Powr in Hvn and Earth)
audio file from hymnal.net
1 1 Why have nations so proudly raged,
and the peoples think vanity?
2 The kings of earth, they take their stand,
and rulers sat in company
2 against the LORD, against His Christ:
3 saying, Let us Their bonds tear up,
saying, Let us Their bonds tear up, and cast away Their yoke from us.
We will not have Them rule o'er us.(3.1)
3 4 In heaven He that sits shall laugh.
The Lord has them in ridicule.
5 Then shall He speak to them in wrath,
and trouble them in displeasure.
4 6 And I, Myself, poured out My King
upon Zion, My holy mount.
7 What Jehovah said unto Me,
this sure decree, I will recount:
5 "Thou art My Son; this day have I,
I, even I, begotten Thee."
God's raising up His Son Jesus,
fulfilled this word to you and me.(7.1)
6 8 "Ask of Me, and I shall give Thee
Thine inheritance, the nations,
and the uttermost parts of earth
shall be for Thine own possession.
7 9 Thou shalt rule them with iron rod.
You'll shatter them like pottery."
He that o'ercomes unto the end,
he shall have this authority. (9.1)
8 10 Be wise therefore, now O ye kings:
Judges of earth, do learn this thing.
11 In fear, the LORD serve and rejoice,
being sober with trembl-ing.
9 12 Kiss the Son lest He be angry,
and from the way, perish you must,
when His wrath burns but a little.
Bless-ed are all who in Him trust.
