Psalm II. Verse 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.
[For Easter.]
Bassus. Cambridge Tune.
〈♫〉〈♫〉WHy did the Gentiles tumults raise? what rage was in their brain? 〈♫〉〈♫〉Why did the Jewish people muse, seeing all is but vain? 〈♫〉〈♫〉The Kings and Rulers of the earth conspire, and are all bent 〈♫〉〈♫〉Against the Lord and Christ his Son, which he among us sent. 〈♫〉〈♫〉Shall we be bound to them, say they? let all their bonds be broke: 〈♫〉〈♫〉And of their doctrine and their law let us reject the yoke. 〈♫〉〈♫〉But he that in the heaven dwells, their doings will deride: 〈♫〉〈♫〉And make them all as mockingstocks thrôout the world so wide 〈♫〉〈♫〉For in his wrath the Lord will say to them upon a day: 〈♫〉〈♫〉And in his fury trouble them, and then the Lord will say: 〈♫〉〈♫〉I have anointed him my King upon my holy hill: 〈♫〉〈♫〉I will therefore, Lord, preach thy law, and eke declare thy will.
