The Triumphant Messiah
(Acts 4:23–31)

1Why do the Heithe grudge? why do the people ymagyn vayne thinges?

2The kynges of the earth stode vp, and the rulers are come together, agaynst the LORDE ad agaynst his anoynted.

3Let vs breake their bondes a sunder, and cast awaye their yocke from vs.

4Neuerthelesse, he that dwelleth in heauen, shall laugh the to scorne: yee euen the LORDE himselff shall haue them in derision.

5Then shal he speake vnto them in his wrath, and vexe them in his sore dispeasure.

6Yet haue I set my kynge vpon my holy hill of Sion.

7As for me I will preach the lawe, wherof the LORDE hath sayde vnto me: Thou art my sonne, this daye haue I begotten the.

8Desyre off me, and I shall geue the the Heithen for thine enheritaunce, Yee the vttemost partes of the worlde for thy possession.

9Thou shalt rule them with a rodde of yron, and breake the in peces like an erthen vessell.

10Be wyse now therfore (o ye kynges) be warned, ye that are iudges of the earth.

11Serue the LORDE with feare, and reioyse before him with reuerence.

12Kysse the sonne, lest the LORDE be angrie, and so ye perish from the right waye. For his wrath shalbe kindled shortly: blessed are all they that put their trust in him.
