Why do nations rebel?
Why do people plot?
They turn against the Lord,
And their king’s revolt.
The rulers plot against the Lord,
And the king He chose,
They say “let’s free ourselves”;
The Lord’s anger grows.
In Heaven the Lord laughs,
As He sits on His throne,
He terrifies them with a fury,
Until now unknown.
“On Zion” he says,
“I have installed my king”,
This is what the Lord told me,
This is everything.
I am your Father,
Today you became my son,
Ask for every nation,
And I will give you every one,
You’ll break them with an iron rod;
You will make them pay,
And shatter them to pieces,
Like dishes made from clay.
All you kings,
Honour and serve your Lord with fear,
Show respect to His Son,
And He will always stay near.
But if you don’t,
You’re headed for destruction,
Happy are those,
Who run to Him for protection.
