The Psalms Project - Psalm 2 (Kiss The Son)

Why do the nations rage?
And why do the people plot in vain?
The kingdoms of earth align themselves against the Lord and His Messiah
Trying to defy His power and erase the Word that He’s set down
But He who sits in heaven just laughs
He just laughs

He’ll warn them in His wrath
And he will say

I have placed my King in heaven before whom all knees shall bow
I have placed my King in heaven, King of Kings and Lord of Lords
I have placed my King in heaven, President of Presidents
I have placed my King in heaven

For God has said: You are my son
For God has said to Jesus: You’re my son
So ask of Me and I will give You all the nations of the world
Ask of Me and I will give You all the nations of the world
Ask of Me and I will give You all the nations of the world
Ask of Me and I will give You

For the earth is the Lord’s and the fullness thereof
For the earth is the Lord’s and the fullness thereof
For the earth is the Lord’s and the fullness thereof
For the earth is the Lord’s

What rises up against the Lord will come back to earth where it belongs
For He will not share His glory with another, much less with foolish men
For the Lord is God, Jesus is King
And no new trend or political scheme will ever amount to more than dirt
Compared to the wisdom of His Word
For there’s nothing new under the sun
Men just rearrange what’s already been done
For God created the heart of man
And everything’s under His command
So to those who try to dethrone God: His Word will stand!

He will rule them with a rod of iron and shatter them like clay
He will rule them with a rod of iron and shatter them like clay
Just like it’s nothing
He’ll set them down
In their place

So be wise you kingdoms of the earth
So be wise you Hollywoods of earth
So be wise you rock stars of the earth
So be wise you politicians of earth

And worship the Lord in fear, and rejoice with trembling
And worship the Lord in fear, and rejoice with trembling

And kiss the Son, yeah, kiss the Son, kiss the Son, yeah, Kiss the Son
And kiss the Son, yeah, kiss the Son, kiss the Son, yeah, Kiss the Son
And kiss the Son, yeah, kiss the Son, kiss the Son, yeah, Kiss the Son
And kiss the Son, yeah, kiss the Son

And He won’t be angry and You won’t perish in your way
For His wrath can come at once

Happy are those who trust in Him
Happy are those who trust in Him
Happy are those who trust in Him

The fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom
