The King on Zion | Psalm 2 | English Christian Devotional Hymn

The King on Zion (Psalm 2) - a majestic Catholic hymn on the reign of God's Anointed King over every nation. This hymn walks through Psalm 2: the nations rage and plot in vain against the Lord and his Anointed, but God has set his King on Zion and declares him Son, giving him the nations as his inheritance. Rulers of the earth are called to be wise, to serve the Lord with reverence, and to kneel before the Son, for blessed are all who take refuge in him. Key images: the raging nations and their broken schemes; the Lord's unshakable decree; the Son enthroned on Zion; the rod of iron that breaks wrongdoing; the blessing on those who find shelter in the King. Let us pray for the grace to bend the knee freely before Christ the King, trusting his gentle and righteous reign. 0:00 Intro 0:10 Verse 1 - Why do the nations rage 0:48 Verse 2 - The Lord's decree 1:25 Verse 3 - Rulers, be wise 2:05 Final Verses - The decree and the doxology 3:04 Final Refrain (times are estimated) Lyrics: (Verse 1) Why do nations rage and thunder, Why do peoples plot in vain? All their schemes are torn asunder, God has set his King to reign. (Verse 2) Tell the Lord's own firm decree: You are mine, my Son this day; Ask of me, and I shall grant thee Every nation for your sway. (Verse 3) Ends of earth shall own your splendor, Rod of iron in your keeping, You shall shatter wrong like clay. (Verse 4) Kings, be wise, awake from sleeping, Rulers, heed and learn his way; Serve with joy, in fear surrender, Kneel and kiss the Son's own feet, Lest you perish, proud offender - Blest who in him find retreat. (Refrain) Why do nations rage and thunder, Why do peoples plot in vain? All their schemes are torn asunder, God has set his King to reign. (Doxology) Glory to the Father, sounding His decree before all days; To the Son, in grace abounding, King on Zion, crowned with praise; To the Spirit, now and ever, Lord and Giver, Breath and Flame; Three in One whom none can sever, One in glory, one in Name.
