Lyrics:
Handel published two versions of this aria, and this is the shorter, less involved version. The longer version is Track 1007.
Why do the nations so furiously rage together?
Why do the people imagine a vain thing?
The kings of the earth rise up,
and the rulers take counsel together against the Lord and his anointed.
