"Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing? The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord, and against His Anointed.... Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth" (Psalm 2:1,2,10). "He [Jesus] perceived their craftiness, and said unto them, Why tempt ye Me?" (Luke 20:23).
Why do nations vainly rage
Against the Lord, supremely wise?
Have they not read Scripture's page
Or viewed creation with their eyes?
Why do kings and rulers make
Against the Lord a foolish plan?
Do they think He's not awake
Or that He is afraid of man?
Why do people tempt the Lord
As if He cannot pass their test?
Have they willfully ignored
The prophecies that Christ addressed?
Be wise therefore, and hear instruction!
Turn now at the Lord's reproof!
The way that leads to sure destruction
Is filled with those who stand aloof!
