Isaac Watts 
The Psalms of David 

1 Why did the nations join to slay
The Lord’s anointed Son?
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 thro’.

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.
