Rhyme Scheme: ABABCBDECEFEFBFBBBBG BGCGCHCH| Why do the Gentiles tumult and the Nations | A |
| Muse a vain thing the Kings of th'earth upstand | B |
| With power and Princes in their Congregations | A |
| Lay deep their plots together through each Land | B |
| Against the Lord and his Messiah dear | C |
| Let us break off say they by strength of hand | B |
| Their bonds and cast from us no more to wear | D |
| Their twisted cords he who in Heaven doth dwell | E |
| Shall laugh the Lord shall scoff them then severe | C |

| Anointed have my King though ye rebell | E |
| On Sion my holi' hill A firm decree | F |

| Thou art my Son I have begotten thee | F |
| This day ask of me and the grant is made | B |
| As thy possession I on thee bestow | B |
| Th'Heathen and as thy conquest to be sway'd | B |
| Earths utmost bounds them shalt thou bring full low | B |
| With Iron Sceptir bruis'd and them disperse | G |
| Like to a potters vessel shiver'd so | B |
| And now be wise at length ye Kings averse | G |
| Be taught ye Judges of the earth with fear | C |
| Jehovah serve and let your joy converse | G |
| With trembling Kiss the Son least he appear | C |
| In anger and ye perish in the way | H |
| If once his wrath take fire like fuel sere | C |
| Happy all those who have in him their stay | H |
