WHy doe the heathen so furiously rage together: and why do the people imagine a vain thing?
2 The Kings of the earth stand up, and the rulers take counsell together: against the Lord, and against his Anointed.
3 Let us break their bonds asunder: and cast away their cords from us.
4 He that dwelleth in heaven shall laugh them to scorn: the Lord shall have them in derision.
5 Then he shall 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 Sion.
7 I will preach the law whereof the Lord hath said un∣to me: Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee.
8 Desire 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 bruise them with a rod of yron: and break them in pieces like a potters vessell.
10 Be wise now therefore, O ye Kings: be learned, ye that are judges of the earth.
11 Serve the Lord in fear: and rejoyce unto him with reverence.
12 Kisse the Son, lest he be angry, and so he perish from the right way: if his wrath be kindled (yea but a little) blessed are all they that put their trust in him.
O Blessed Jesu, into whose hands is com∣mitted all dominion and power in the Kingdomes and Empires of the world, out of whose mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it thou mightest smite the Nations and rule them with a rod of yron, on whose vesture and on whose thigh a name is written, King of Kings, and Lord of Lords, we adore thee in thy infinite excellency and most glorious exaltati∣on, beseeching thee to reveale thy name and
the glory of thy Kingdome to the Heathen which know thee not, and to the uttermost parts of the earth which are given thee for thy possession, and inheritance. And to us give thy grace to serve thee in fear, and plant the reve∣rence of thy law and of thy name in our hearts, lest thy wrath be kindled against us, and thou break us in pieces like vessels of dishonour. Have mercy on us, O King of Kings, for we have put our trust in thee, thou art our Saviour and Redeemer Jesu. Amen.
