Why this Tumult among Nations Lyrics

Ant. I: Blessed are they who put their trust in God.

Ant. II: The Lord said to me “You are my son, begothen this day”

Ant. III: The kings of the earth arise against the Lord and his Christ.

1. Why this tumult among nations.

Among peoples this useless murmuring?

They arise, the kings of the earth

Princess plot against, the Lord and his Anointed

“Come let us break their fetters

Come let us cast off their yoke”.

2. He who sits in the heavens laughs

The Lord is laughin them to scorn

Then he will speak in his anger

His rage will strike them with terror:

“It is I who have set up my king on Zion,

my holy mountain.”

3. The Lord said to me: “You are my Son,

It is I who have begothen you this day

Ask and I shall bequeath you the actions

Put the ends of the earth in your possession

With a God of iron, you will break them

Shatter them like potter’s jar”

4. Now O Kings understand,

Take warning rulers of the earth

Serve the lord with awe

And trembling, pay him your homage

Lest he be angry and you perish

For suddenly his anger will blaze.

5. Give glory to the Father Almighty

To His Son Jesus Christ the Lord

To the Spirit who dwells in our hearts

Both now and for ever Amen.
