In this sermon, the preacher references two passages from the Bible - Daniel 4 and Acts 4 - to emphasize that God is still in control despite the rise and fall of earthly rulers. He mentions historical figures like Kroosches, Hitler, and Mussolini to illustrate the temporary nature of human power. The preacher encourages the audience to place their trust in God rather than material possessions or worldly leaders. He concludes by quoting Psalm 16:8, which speaks of setting the Lord before oneself and finding stability in Him.

St. Augustine preaches on the psalms, highlighting the futility of raging against the Lord and His Christ, as seen in the kings and rulers who conspired against Jesus. He emphasizes the power and laughter of God in response to those who oppose His reign, ultimately leading to their judgment and His establishment as King over His Church. The sermon delves into the eternal generation of Christ, His inheritance of the nations, and the call for kings and judges to serve the Lord with fear and trembling, laying hold of discipline to avoid perishing from the righteous way.
