Argument.

Christ's Kingdom how exalted high, By type of David's sovereignty.

UPON my Sions sacred Hill
yet have I set my sovereign King;
Thou hast decreed and wilt fulfill,
and I will now declare the thing.

The Lord hath spoken thus to me
thou art my true and onely son;
This Day have I begotten thee,
ask of me and it shall be done.

All Heathen Kingdoms I will make
to be th' inheritance of thy birth:
And thou shalt in possession take
the utmost parts of all the Earth.

Thine Iron Rod, of sovereign might,
shall dash thy foes and make them break:
Yea dash them into pieces quite,
As Potters Vessels that are weak.
