Lyrics
Our God he sits in heaven
Our God resides in heaven.
With angels round his throne
Surrounded by angels near his throne.
The earth standing beneath him
The earth is beneath him.
The stars it’s precious robe
The stars adorn the earth like a precious robe.
He bends his arm to touch the meek
God extends his arm to touch the humble.
The fathers smile to raise the week
Fathers express joy in supporting the weak.
His law is full of love and of protection
God's law is characterized by love and protection.
Why do the nations rage
Questioning the reason behind nations raging.
Why do the people plot in vain
Questioning the futile plotting of people.
Surely the fathers law
Affirmation of the perfection of the father's law.
Is made of pure perfection
Highlighting the pure perfection of God's law.
The try to burst their bonds
Nations attempt to break free from their bonds.
They say let’s cast away the chords from us
Expressing a desire to cast away restraints.
They charge against the Lord's anointed one
Confrontation against the Lord's anointed one.
But he’s laughing in the heavens
God's reaction, laughing from the heavens.
I’ve set my king on zion
Declaration of placing the king on Zion.
Up on my holy hill
On God's holy hill, a chosen king.
He is my son begotten
Identification of the king as God's begotten son.
If he just asks then I will give
If the king asks, God will grant nations as his heritage.
The nations as his heritage
The earth is appointed as the king's possession.
The earth as his possession
The king will rule with an iron rod of justice.
He shall break the with an iron rod of justice

Why do the nations rage
Reiteration of the question about nations raging.
Why do the people plot in vain
Reiteration of the question about people plotting.
Surely the fathers laws
Reaffirmation of the perfection of the father's laws.
Are made of pure perfection
Restating the pure perfection of God's laws.
The try to burst their bonds
Nations continue trying to break free from bonds.
They say let’s cast away the chords from us
Expressing a desire to cast away restraints again.
They charge against the Lord's anointed one
Charging against the Lord's anointed one once more.
But he’s laughing in the heavens
God's continued reaction, laughing in the heavens.
He’s laughing in the heavens
Reiteration of God's laughter in the heavens.
Oh kings be wise and warned
Address to kings, advising them to be wise and warned.
Salvation belongs only to the Lord
Salvation is exclusive to the Lord.
With fear come serve the king
With fear, kings are urged to serve the appointed king.
Come rejoice with trembling
Encouragement to rejoice with trembling.
Come bow and kiss the son
An invitation to bow and kiss the son.
He burns up sinners like the raging sun
Portrayal of the son as a consuming force against sinners.
His justice is right and true
Assertion of the righteousness and truth in the son's justice.
Blessed is the one
Blessed is the one who finds refuge in God.
