1 Why do the Heathen so furiously rage together? and why do the people imagine a vayne thing?

2 The kynges of the earth stande vp: and the rulers take counsell together against god, and against his annointed.

3 Let vs breake say they their bondes a sunder: and cast away their cordes from vs.

4 He that dwelleth in heauen wyll laugh them to scorne: the Lorde wyll haue them in derision.

5 Then wyll he speake vnto them in his wrath: and he wyll astonie them with feare in his sore displeasure.

6 Saying euen I haue annointed him my kyng: vpon my holy hyll of Sion.

7 I wyll declare the decree, God sayde vnto me: thou art my sonne, this day I haue begotten thee.
