Rebellion #Messiah texts #Psalter Psalm 2:3

 41. Chorus – Let us break their bonds asunder, and cast away their yokes from us. 

Psalm 2:3
נְֽ֭נַתְּקָה אֶת־מֽוֹסְרוֹתֵ֑ימוֹ
וְנַשְׁלִ֖יכָה מִמֶּ֣נּוּ עֲבֹתֵֽימוֹ
3 ♪g Let us snap their bonds,
and kiss good-bye to their cords.

The musical phrase is unique, occurring only once in Tanach. It is connected to the prior verse and is devoid of ornamentation. You could easily make a fugue subject from it.
