Why Do the Heathen Nations Vainly Rage? - Psalm 2 Genevan - Treasury 5

The recording harmony doesn't match the printed harmony. Sorry!
1. 1 Why do the heathen nations vainly rage?
What prideful schemes are they in vain devising?
2 The kings of earth and rulers all engage
In evil plots, and, in their sin contriving,
They take their stand against our GOD’s Messiah;
3 They claim they will not keep His binding chains.
4 The One enthroned in highest Heaven, higher,
Mocks them to scorn, on them derision rains.
2. 5 He speaks to them in righteous, holy wrath;
God vexes them and shows His great displeasure.
6 “Yet so I set My King upon the path
That upward wound to Zion, My own treasure.
7 ‘You are My Son, today You are begotten,’-
I will declare what God has said to Me-
8 ‘And not one tribe will ever be forgotten.
You will receive the world, just ask of Me.
3. The nations come; You are the only Heir,
The ends of earth will be Your own possession,
9 And, broken with a rod of iron there,
Rebellious pottery comes to destruction.’”
11 Now serve the LORD, with fear and gladness trembling,
10 And therefore, O ye kings, seek wisdom here.
12 How blest are those who trust without dissembling,
Who kiss the Son and bow in rev’rent fear.
