1 Why do the heathen rage, and the people
imagine a vain thing?
2 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take
counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying,
3 Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords
from us.
4 He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall
have them in derision.
5 Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in
his sore displeasure.
6 Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.
7 I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou art my
Son; this day have I begotten thee.
8 Ask of me, and I shall give thee the
heathen 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 Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges
of the earth.
11 Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.
12 Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the
way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all
they that put their trust in him.
