1 Why did nations rage? And tribes meditate vain things?
2 The kings of the earth combined; and the chiefs assembled together, against the Lord and against his Anointed, [saying]
3 "Let us break their bands asunder and throw off from us their yoke."
4 He who dwelleth in heaven will laugh them to scorn; the Lord will treat them with derision.
5 Then will he speak to them in his wrath and trouble them with his sore displeasure.
6 But as for me, by him I am appointed king on Sion his holy mountain.
7 I proclaim the decree of the Lord; to me the Lord said, "Thou art my Son, this day I have begotten thee,
8 "Ask of me, and I will give thee nations for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.
9 Thou shalt rule them with a rod of iron. Thou shalt break them to pieces like a potter's vessel."
10 Now therefore, O kings, be wise: Be instructed, all ye, who judge the earth.
11 Serve the Lord with fear: and rejoice for him with trembling.
12 Keep fast hold of instruction; the Lord may be angry and you may perish out of the right way. When his anger suddenly blazeth forth, happy are all they who have trusted in him.
