| title | — |
| 1 | Why are the nations in an uproar? And why do the peoples mutter in vain? |
| 2 | The kings of the earth stand up, And the rulers take counsel together, Against the LORD, and against His anointed: |
| 3 | 'Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.' |
| 4 | He that sitteth in heaven laugheth, the Lord hath them in derision. |
| 5 | Then will He speak unto them in His wrath, and affright them in His sore displeasure: |
| 6 | 'Truly it is I that have established My king upon Zion, My holy mountain.' |
| 7 | I will tell of the decree: The LORD said unto me: 'Thou art My son, this day have I begotten thee. |
| 8 | Ask of Me, and I will give the nations for thine inheritance, and the ends 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 | Now therefore, O ye kings, be wise; be admonished, ye judges of the earth. |
| 11 | Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling. |
| 11a | — |
| 12 | Do homage in purity, lest He be angry, and ye perish in the way, when suddenly His wrath is kindled. Happy are all they that take refuge in Him. |
