The Psalms of David

1 Why did the nations join to slayThe Lord's anointed Son?Why did they cast his laws away,And tread his gospel down?2 The Lord that sits above the skies,Derides their rage below,He speaks with vengeance in his eyes,And strikes their spirits thro'.3 "I call him my Eternal Son,"And raise him from the dead;"I make my holy hill his throne,"And wide his kingdom spread.
