[Verse 1]
E
Why do the heathen rage,
A E
and the people imagine a vain thing?
E
The kings of the earth set themselves,
A E
and the rulers take counsel together,
A
against the Lord,
E A B
and against his anointed, saying,
E
Let us break their bands asunder,
A B
and cast away their cords from us.
E A
He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh:
B
shall laugh
E
The Lord shall have them in derision.
A B
Then shall he speak unto them
E A B
in his wrath, and in his sore displeasure, displeasure,
E A B
Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.
E A B
Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.
E A
I will declare the decree:
E A
the Lord hath said unto me,
E A E A
Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee.
E A E A B
Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee.
E
Ask of me, and I shall give thee
A B
The heathen for thine inheritance,
E A
The uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession,
B
Possession
E A
Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron;
E
thou shalt dash them in pieces
A B
like a potter's vessel.
E A
Be wise O ye kings:
E A
Be wise O ye kings:
B A E
be instructed, ye judges of the earth.
B A B A
Serve the Lord with fear, and rejoice with trembling.
E A
Kiss the Son, lest he be angry,
E A
Kiss the Son, lest he be angry,
B
and ye perish from the way,
A E
when his wrath is kindled but a little.
B A E
Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.
[Refrain]
B
lest ye perish from the way,
