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.
