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 |

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 |
