ISV(i)
1 The Nations and God’s Anointed Why are the nations in an uproar, and their people involved in a vain plot?
2 As the kings of the earth take their stand and the rulers conspire together against the LORD and his anointed one, they say,
3 “Let us tear off their shackles from us, and cast off their chains.”
4 He who sits in the heavens laughs; the Lord scoffs at them.
5 In his anger he rebukes them, and in his wrath he terrifies them:
6 “I have set my king on Zion, my holy mountain.”
7The Anointed King SpeaksLet me announce the decree of the LORD that he told me: “You are my son, today I have become your father.
8 Ask of me, and I will give you the nations as your inheritance, the ends of the earth as your possession.
9 You will break them with an iron rod, you will shatter them like pottery.”
