      Psalm Two

      1 Why do the nations rage,And the peoples meditate a vain thing?2 The kings of the earth set themselves,And the rulers take counsel together,Against God, and against his anointed, saying,3 Let us break their bonds asunder,And cast away their cords from us.4 He that sitteth in the heavens will laugh:The Lord will have them in derision.5 Then will he speak unto them in his wrath,And vex them in his sore displeasure:6 Yet I have set my king Upon my holy hill of Zion.7 I will tell of the decree:God said unto me, Thou art my son;This day have I begotten thee.8 Ask of me, and I will give thee the nations for thine inheritance, And the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.9 Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron;Thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel.10 Now therefore be wise, O ye kings:Be instructed, ye judges of the earth.11 Serve God with fear,And rejoice with trembling.12 Kiss the son, lest he be angry, and ye perish in the way,For his wrath will soon be kindled.Blessed are all they that take refuge in him.

      Kings and would-be kings

      Wannabe rulers and tribes

      Hire fools

      To demoralize the powerful

      That’s us

      As the Lord, whoever you are today

      Has installed them on his holy mountain

      Six Flags Magic Mountain?

      Where are you now?

      Who is this Lord?

      Zeus again?

      Yahweh? Is that still you?

      You bestow on your believers

      All the nations of the world

      Is that your guarantee?

      You will break the leaders

      Who violate your laws you say?

      How is Herr Hitler and the rest of the despots?

      And Papa Joe? How is he?

      Mao? Pol Pot?

      Destroyed no doubt

      With a hundred million of your most devout

      The Sanctified

      Who died extoling your Holy Name

      Psalm Three

      1 God, how are mine adversaries increased!Many are they that rise up against me.2 Many there are that say of my soul,There is no help for him in God. 3 But thou, O God, art a shield about me;My glory, and the lifter up of my head.4 I cry unto God with my voice,And he answereth me out of his holy hill. 5 I laid me down and slept;I awaked; for God sustaineth me.6 I will not be afraid of ten thousands of the people That have set themselves against me round about.7 Arise, O God; save me, O my God:For thou hast smitten all mine enemies upon the cheek bone;Thou hast broken the teeth of the wicked.8 Salvation belongeth unto God:Thy blessing be upon thy people.

      Who waits in the dark

      Plotting against me

      Or does darkness do that

      By itself?

      In the black pit of my mind

      The voices are laughing

      No one will save me

      From death

      Not even You

      Whoever You are

      I call out

      Help

      To the holy mountain

      And I hear

      Noise

      The world is created

      By the vibration of sound

      And fury

      Or so they say

      Now I lay me down to sleep

      Will I awake

      With a rifle in my ribs

      “Get up!”

      You wonder why I dream of fire

      Intercontinental ballistic missiles

      Blowing up

      My enemies

      Anyone who will sell me

      For ten cents on the dollar

      And they will

      Break the teeth of the wicked

      Says the Psalm

      Mash the brains

      Fry the faces

      Erase the histories

      Deliver me O Lord

      From this darkness you have made

      This darkness

      That is me

      Psalm Four

      1 Answer me when I call, O God of my righteousness;Thou hast set me at large when I was in distress:Have mercy upon me, and hear my prayer.2 O ye sons of men, how long shall my glory be turned into dishonor?How long will ye love vanity, and seek after falsehood? Selah 3 But know that God hath set apart for himself him that is godly:God will hear when I call unto him.4 Stand in awe, and sin not:Commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. Selah 5 Offer the sacrifices of righteousness,And put your trust in God.6 Many there are that say, Who will show us any good?God, lift thou up the light of thy countenance upon us.7 Thou hast put gladness in my heart,More than they have when their grain And their new wine are increased.8 In peace will I both lay me down and sleep;For thou, God, alone makest me dwell in safety.

      Answer me when I call to You
