-<poem>
-Why did the Gentiles tumults raise?
-What rage was in their brain?
-Why do the people still contrive
-A thing that is but vain?
-The kings and rulers of the earth
-Conspire and are all bent
-Against the Lord, and Christ His Son,
-Whom He among us sent.
-Shall we be bound to them? Say they,
-Let all Their bonds be broke;
-And of Their doctrine and Their law
-Let us reject the yoke.
-But He that in the Heav’n doth dwell,
-Their doings will deride;
-And make them all as mocking-stocks
-Throughout the world so wide.
-For in His wrath He shall reprove
-Their pride and scornful way,
-And in His fury trouble them,
-And unto them shall say,
-I have anointed Him My King
-Upon My holy hill;
-I will therefore, Lord, preach Thy law
-According to Thy will:
-The law whereof the Lord Himself
-Hath thus said unto Me,
-Thou art My only Son, this day
-Have I begotten Thee.
-The people I will give to Thee,
-As heirs at Thy request
-The ends and coasts of all the earth
-By Thee shall be possessed.
-Thou shalt them bruise e’en like to those
-That under foot are trod,
-And as a potter’s vessel break
-Them with an iron rod.
-Now ye, O kings and rulers all,
-Be wise therefore and learned,
-By who the matters of the world
-Are judged and discerned.
-See that ye serve the Lord above
-In trembling and in fear;
-See that with reverence ye rejoice
-When ye to Him draw near:
-See that ye do embrace and kiss
-His Son without delay;
-Lest in His wrath ye suddenly
-Perish from the right way.
-If once His wrath (but little) shall
-Be kindled in His breast,
-Then only they that trust in Him
-Shall happy be and blest.
