lyrics

Why do the nations conspire and the peoples plot in vain?
The kings of earth take their stand and the rulers gather together
Against the Lord and against his anointed one

"Let us break their chains" they say "and throw off their fetters."

The One enthroned in heaven laughs
The Lord scoffs at them
He rebukes them in his anger and terrifies them in his wrath saying,
"I have installed my king on Zion, my holy hill."

I will proclaim the decree of the Lord. He said to me,
"You are my son. Today I have become your father.
Ask of me and I shall make the nations your inheritance
The ends of the earth your possession.
You will rule them with an iron scepter
You will dash them to pieces like pottery"

Therefore you kings, be wise
Be warned, you rulers of the earth.
Serve the Lord with fear and rejoice with trembling

Kiss the Son, lest he be angry
and you be destroyed in your way
For his wrath can flare up in a moment

Blessed are all who take refuge in Him
