"Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing… against His Anointed, saying, Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us?... The Lord shall have them in derision… Be wise now therefore… Kiss the Son, lest He be angry, and ye perish from the way, when His wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in Him" (Psalm 2:1-4, 10-12). "Trust in the LORD… Surely He scorneth the scorners: but He giveth grace unto the lowly" (Proverbs 3:5,34).
The
heathen rage against the Christ,
But
there is wrath for this decision.
Our
Lord, once meekly sacrificed,
Shall
have the rebels in derision.
What
kind of thoughtlessness is this,
That
wrath should catch them by surprise?
They
killed the One whom they should kiss!
Yet
God still warns them to be wise.
Let
every mocker now be warned:
The
Lord gives grace to all the lowly,
But
every scorner shall be scorned
Because
the Lord our God is holy.
O
Lord, as You reprove the lost
By
Your derision of their scorning,
We
pray that souls may count the cost
As
they decide to heed Your warning.
