1Why do the heathen1471 rage7283, and the people3816 imagine1897 a vain thing7385?
2The kings4428 of the earth776 set3320 themselves, and the rulers7336 take counsel3245 together3162, against the LORD3068, and against his anointed4899, saying,
3Let us break5423 their bands4147 asunder5423, and cast away7993 their cords5688 from us.
4He that sitteth3427 in the heavens8064 shall laugh7832: the Lord136 shall have them in derision3932.
5Then shall he speak1696 unto them in his wrath639, and vex926 them in his sore displeasure2740.
6Yet have I set5258 my king4428 upon my holy6944 hill2022 of Zion6726.
7I will declare5608 the decree2706: the LORD3068 hath said559 unto me, Thou art my Son1121; this day3117 have I begotten3205 thee.
8Ask7592 of me, and I shall give5414 thee the heathen1471 for thine inheritance5159, and the uttermost parts657 of the earth776 for thy possession272.
9Thou shalt break7489 them with a rod7626 of iron1270; thou shalt dash them in pieces5310 like a potter's3335 vessel3627.
10Be wise7919 now therefore, O ye kings4428: be instructed3256, ye judges8199 of the earth776.
11Serve5647 the LORD3068 with fear3374, and rejoice1523 with trembling7461.
12Kiss5401 the Son1248, lest he be angry599, and ye perish6 from the way1870, when his wrath639 is kindled1197 but a little4592. Blessed835 are all they that put their trust2620 in him.
