Why do the tribes and nations rage

Appears in 2 hymnals Lyrics: 1 Why do the tribes and nations rage And form a vain design? Kings of the earth do set themselves and princes plotting join, Against Jehovah and his Christ, with one consent, and say, 3 "Let us asunder break their bands and cast their cords away!" 4 But He ho sits in heaven will laugh, The Lord will them deride; 5 In anger then to them He'll speak, in wrath to vex their pride. 6 "See I have set my king upon Zion my holy hill, 7 And the immutable decree Proclaim abroad I will." 8 The Lord said, "Thou my Son, this day. have I begotten thee! Ask, and the nations I will give thine heritage to be. 9 And of the earth thou shalt possess The utmost coasts abroad; Thy foes shalt break as potters ware, and crush with iron rod." 10 And now ye kings, be wise; be learned ye who earth's judges are; 11 Serve ye the LORD with reverence, rejoice with trembling fear. 12 Kiss ye the Son, lest by his wrath ye perish in our way: When once his wrath a little burns, blessed all that on him stay. The Psalms, Hymns, and Spiritual Songs of the Old and New Testament, 1758
