Of heaven and earth and seas,
Thy providence confirms thy word,
And answers thy decrees.
2 The things so long foretold
By David are fulfill'd;
When Jews and Gentiles join'd to slay
Jesus, thine holy Child.]
3 Why did the Gentiles rage,
And Jews with one accord
Join all their councils to destroy
Th' Anointed of the Lord?
4 Rulers and Kings agree
To form a vain design;
Against the Lord their powers unite,
Against his Christ they join.
5 The Lord derides their rage,
And will support his throne;
He that hath rais'd him from the dead,
Hath own'd him for his son.
Pause.
6 Now he's ascended high,
To rule the subject earth;
The merit of his blood he pleads,
And pleads his heavenly birth.
7 Beneath his sovereign sway
The Gentile nations bend;
Far as the world's remotest bounds,
His kingdom shall extend.
8 The nations that rebel,
Must feel his iron rod;
He'll vindicate those honours well
Which he receiv'd from God.
9 [Be wise, ye rulers, now,
And worship at his throne;
With trembling joy, ye people bow,
To God's exalted Son.
10 If once his wrath arise,
Ye perish on the place;
Then blessed is the soul that flies
For refuge to his grace.] Scripture: Psalm 2 Languages: English
