Psalm 2

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 6.6.8.6 Appears in 39 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 2 First Line: Maker and sovereign Lord Lyrics: [Maker and sovereign Lord Of heav'n, and earth, and seas, Thy providence confirms thy word, And answers thy decrees. The things so long foretold By David are fulfilled, When Jews and Gentiles joined to slay Jesus, thine holy child.] Why did the Gentiles rage, And Jews, with one accord, Bend all their counsels to destroy Th' Anointed of the Lord? Rulers and kings agree To form a vain design; Against the Lord their powers unite, Against his Christ they join. The Lord derides their rage, And will support his throne; He that hath raised him from the dead Hath owned him for his Son. Now he's ascended high, And asks to rule the earth The merit of his blood he pleads, And pleads his heav'nly birth. He asks, and God bestows A large inheritance; Far as the world's remotest ends His kingdom shall advance. The nations that rebel Must feel his iron rod; He'll vindicate those honors well Which he received from God. [Be wise, ye rulers, now, And worship at his throne; With trembling joy, ye people, bow To God's exalted Son. If once his wrath arise, Ye perish on the place; Then blessed is the soul that flies For refuge to his grace.] Topics: Christ exalted to the kingdom; Christ his sufferings and kingdom; Exaltation of Christ to the kingdom; Gentiles given to Christ; Resurrection and death of Christ; Submission to Christ; Sufferings and kingdom of Christ

Psalm 2

Author: Isaac Watts Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 20 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 2 First Line: Why did the Jews proclaim their rage? Lyrics: Why did the Jews proclaim their rage? The Romans, why their swords employ? Against the Lord their powers engage, His dear Anointed to destroy? "Come, let us break his bands," they say, "This man shall never give us laws:" And thus they cast his yoke away, And nailed the Monarch to the cross. But God, who high in glory reigns, Laughs at their pride, their rage controls, He'll vex their hearts with inward pains, And speak in thunder to their souls. "I will maintain the King I made On Zion's everlasting hill; My hand shall bring him from the dead, And he shall stand your Sovereign still." [His wondrous rising from the earth Makes his eternal Godhead known; The Lord declares his heav'nly birth, "This day have I begot my Son. "Ascend, my Son, to my right hand, There thou shalt ask, and I bestow, The utmost bounds of heathen lands; To thee the Northern Isles shall bow."] But nations that resist his grace Shall fall beneath his iron stroke; His rod shall crush his foes with ease, As potters' earthen work is broke. Now, ye that sit on earthly thrones, Be wise, and serve the Lord, the Lamb; Now at his feet submit your crowns, Rejoice and tremble at his name. With humble love address the Son, Lest he grow angry, and ye die; His wrath will burn to worlds unknown, If ye provoke his jealousy. His storms shall drive you quick to hell; He is a God, and ye but dust: Happy the souls that know him well, And make his grace their only trust.

"I call him my Eternal Son, And raise him from the dead; I make my holy hill his throne, And wide his kingdom spread. "Ask me, my Son, and then enjoy The utmost heathen lands: Thy rod of iron shall destroy The rebel that withstands." Be wise, ye rulers of the earth, Obey th' anointed Lord, Adore the King of heav'nly birth, And tremble at his word.

O Wherefore Do the Nations Rage

Meter: 8.8.8.8 Appears in 13 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 2 Lyrics: 1 O wherefore do the nations rage, and kings and rulers strive in vain, against the Lord of earth and heav'n to overthrow Messiah's reign? 2 Their strength is weakness in the sight of him who sits enthroned above; he speaks, and judgments fall on them who tempt his wrath and scorn his love. 3 By God's decree his Son receives the nations for his heritage; the conqu'ring Christ supreme shall reign as King of kings, from age to age. 4 Be wise, ye rulers of the earth, and serve the Lord with godly fear; with rev'rent joy confess the Son while yet in mercy he is near. 5 Delay not, lest his anger rise, and ye should perish in your way; lo, all that put their trust in him are blest indeed, and blest alway.

Wherefore Do the Nations Rage

Meter: 7.7.7.7 D Appears in 12 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 2 Lyrics: 1 Wherefore do the nations rage and the people vainly dream that in triumph they can wage war against the LORD supreme? His Anointed they deride, and the rulers, plotting, say, "Their dominion be defied, let us cast their bonds away." 2 But the Lord will scorn them all; calm, he sits enthroned on high. Soon his wrath will on them fall; angered, he will then reply, "Yet according to my will I have set my King to reign, and on Zion's holy hill my Anointed I maintain." 3 My LORD speaks, "You are my Son; yes, I have begotten you. I will give you every one of the nations as your due. From your rule, now let them learn: break them with an iron rod, dash them like a potter's urn, crush those enemies of God." 4 Therefore, rulers, kings, come near, listen to God's holy word. Come with reverence, come with fear. Kiss the Son and serve the LORD, lest his anger quickly flame and you perish in your way. All are blest who trust in him; yes, supremely blest are they.

With restless and ungoverned rage

Appears in 8 hymnals Scripture: Psalm 2 Lyrics: 1 With restless and ungover'd Rage why do the Heathen storm? Why in such rash Attempts engage, as they can ne’er perform? 2 The great in Counsel, and in Might their various Forces bring; Against the Lord they all unite, and His anointed King. 3 "Must we submit to their commands? presumptuously they say: "No, let us break Their slavish Bands, "and cast their Chains away." 4 But God, who sits enthron'd on High, and sees how they combine, Does their conspiring Strength defy, And mocks their vain Design. 5 Thick Clouds of Wrath divine shall break on his rebellious Foes; And thus will he in Thunder speak to all that dare oppose: 6 "Though madly you dispute my Will, "the King that I ordain, "Whose Throne is fix'd on Sion’s Hill, "shall there securely reign." 7 Attend, O Earth, whilst I declare God’s uncontroul'd Decree: “Thou art my Son, this Day, my Heir, "have I begotten thee. 8 “Ask, and receive thy full Demands; "thine shall the Heathen be; "The utmost Limits of the Lands, shall be posses'd by thee. 9 "Thy threat’ning Sceptte thou shalt shake, "and crush them ev'ry-where; "As massy Bars of Iron break "the Potter’s brittle Ware. 10 Learn then, ye Princes; and give Ear, ye Judges of the Earth; Worship the Lord with holy fear; rejoice with awful Mirth. 11 Appease the Son with due Respect, your timely Homage pay; Lest he revenge the bold Neglect, incens'd by your Delay. 12 If but in Part his Anger rise, who can endure the Flame? Then blest are they whose Hope relies On his most holy Name.
