Psalm 2

The Prophet Dauid reioyceth that notwithſtanding his enemies rage, yet God wil cõtinue his kingdome for euer & aduãce it euen to the end of the worlde. 10 And therefore exhorteth Kings and rulers, that they wolde humbly ſubmit them ſelues vnder Gods yoke, becauſe it is in vaine to reſiſte God. Herein is figured Chriſts kingdome.
1.WHy do the heathen rage, & the people murmur in vaine?
2.The Kings of the earth band them ſelues, and the princes are aſſembled together againſt the Lord, and againſt his Chriſt.
3.Let vs breake their bands, and caſt their cords from vs.
4.But he that dwelleth in the heauen ſhal laugh: the Lord ſhal haue thẽ in deriſiõ.
5.Then ſhal he ſpeake vnto them in his wrath, & vexe them in his ſore diſpleaſure, ſaying,
6.Euen I haue ſet my King vpon Zión mine holie mountaine.
7.I wil declare the decree: that is, the Lord hathe ſaid vnto me, Thou art my Sonne: this day haue I begotten thee.
8.Aſke of me, & I ſhal giue thee the heathẽ for thine inheritance, and the endes of the earth for thy poſſeſsion.
9.Thou ſhalt cruſh them with a ſceptre of yron, & breake them in pieces like a potters veſſel.
10.Be wiſe now therefore, ye Kings: be learned ye Iudges of the earth.
11.Serue the Lord in feare, and reioyce in trembling.
12.Kiſſe the Sonne, leſt he be angrie, and ye periſh in the waie, when his wrath ſhal ſuddenly burne. bleſſed are al that truſt in him.
