Lyrics
1 Why do the heathen rage,
and the people imagine a
vain thing?
2 The kings of the earth
set themselves, and the
rulers take counsel
together, against the
LORD, and against his
anointed, saying'
3 Let us break their bands
asunder, and cast away
their cords from us.
4 He that sitteth in the
heavens shall laugh: the
LORD shall have them in
derision.
5 Then shall he speak unto
them in his wrath, and vex
them in his sore
displeasure.
6 Yet have I set my king
upon my holy hill of Zion.
7 I will declare the
decree: the LORD hath said
unto me, Thou art my Son;
this day have I begotten
thee.
8 Ask of me, and I shall
give thee the heathen for
thine inheritance, and the
uttermost parts of the
earth for thy possession.
9 Thou shalt break them
with a rod of iron; thou
shalt dash them in pieces
like a potter's vessel.
10 Be wise now therefore,
O ye kings: be instructed,
ye judges of the earth.
11 Serve the LORD with
fear, and rejoice with
trembling.
12 Kiss the Son, lest he
be angry, and ye perish
from the way, when his
wrath is kindled but a
little. Blessed are all
they that put their trust
in him.
Track Comments
The music to Psalm 2 was composed
in 1983. Psalm 2 is a royal psalm. The
subject of this psalm is the
establishment of David upon
his throne, notwithstanding
the opposition made to it by
his enemies.
However
this psalm goes beyond David
and points to Christ. |
