PSALM. II. Sing this as the 18. Psalm.
VVHy, doe the heathens rage-tumultu'ously:
and peoples, mediate on vanity?
[verse 2] Kings of the earth, themselves presenting-set:
and princes for to plot together-get:
against Iehovah, 'gainst his Christ also.
[verse 3] Break we, their bands: & their cords, frō us throw.
[verse 4] He laugeth, that in heavens doth reside:
the Lord, he them doth mockingly-deride.
[verse 5] Then in his anger speak to them will hee:
and in his wrath, them trouble-suddainlie.
[verse 6] And I, anoynted-have my King: upon
the mountayn of my holynes, Sion.
[verse 7] Tel-wil-I the decree: I ah sayd to mee,
thou art my son; this day begat-I thee.
[verse 8] Ask me, and I-wil-give thine heritance,
heathens: and earths ends, thy firm-retenance.
[verse 9] Thou-shalt them roughly-rule with yron rod;
as Potters vessel scatter them abroad.
[verse 10] And now, ye Kings be wise: be nurtured,
ye earths Iudges. [verse 11] Iehovah serve with dread:
and ioy, with trembling. [verse 12] Kiss the Son, lest he
be wroth, and perish in the way doe-ye;
when burn-shall suddainly his angry-face:
O blessed, all their hope in him that place.
