PSALMS.

He asks, and God bestows A large inheritance; Far as the world's remotest ends His kingdom shall advance.

1

The nations that rebel Must feel his iron rod; He'll vindicate those honours well Which he receiv'd from God.

[ Be wise, ye rulers, now, And worship at his throne; With trembling joy, ye people, bow To God's exalted Son.

10 If once his wrath arise,

Ye perish on the place; Then blessed is the soul that flies For refuge to his grace.]

PSALM 2. C. M.

The same.

WHY did the nations join to slay

The Lord's

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 through.

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.

4" Ask me, my Son, and then enjoy " The utmost heathen lands: " Thy rod of iron shall destroy " The rebel that withstands.

5 Be wise, ye rulers of the earth, Obey th' anointed Lord, Adore the King of heavenly birth, And tremble at his word.

6 With humble love address his throne, For if he frown, ye die;

Those are secure, and those alone, Who on his grace rely.
