Shattered or Shielded

“The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his Anointed…. The Lord shall have them in derision…. Thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel…. Be wise now therefore…. Blessed are all they that put their trust in Him” (Psalm 2:2-12).  “Every word of God is pure: He is a shield unto them that put their trust in Him” (Proverbs 30:5). 

The kings of earth have set themselves

Against almighty God.

Their wicked counsel fills their shelves

In books that they applaud.

The day is coming when the Lord

Shall have them in derision.

The Word of God now looks toward

That clear, prophetic vision.

The Word of God now gives a choice

Which counsels us to yield,

To heed the warning of God’s voice,

And trust Him as our Shield.

How clearly has His Spirit spoken

And called us to be wise,

For like a potter’s vessel broken

They’ll be who trust in lies!

We thank You for Your precious Word,

O Lord, so pure and true,

And that Your Shield is assured

For all who trust in You.
