Why do the heathen[H1471]rage[H7283], and the people[H3816]imagine[H1897] a vain thing?[H7385]
2
The kings[H4428] of the earth[H776]set[H3320] themselves, and the rulers[H7336] take counsel[H3245]together[H3162], against the LORD[H3068], and against his anointed[H4899], saying,
3
Let us break[H5423] their bands[H4147]asunder[H5423], and cast away[H7993] their cords[H5688] from us.
4
He that sitteth[H3427] in the heavens[H8064] shall laugh[H7832]: the Lord[H136] shall have them in derision[H3932].
5
Then shall he speak[H1696] unto them in his wrath[H639], and vex[H926] them in his sore displeasure[H2740].
6
Yet have I set[H5258] my king[H4428] upon my holy[H6944]hill[H2022] of Zion[H6726].
7
I will declare[H5608] the decree[H2706]: the LORD[H3068] hath said[H559] unto me, Thou art my Son[H1121]; this day[H3117] have I begotten[H3205] thee.
8Ask[H7592] of me, and I shall give[H5414] thee the heathen[H1471] for thine inheritance[H5159], and the uttermost parts[H657] of the earth[H776] for thy possession[H272].
9
Thou shalt break[H7489] them with a rod[H7626] of iron[H1270]; thou shalt dash them in pieces[H5310] like a potter's vessel[H3627].
10
Be wise[H7919] now therefore, O ye kings[H4428]: be instructed[H3256], ye judges[H8199] of the earth[H776].
11Serve[H5647] the LORD[H3068] with fear[H3374], and rejoice[H1523] with trembling[H7461].
12Kiss[H5401] the Son[H1248], lest he be angry[H599], and ye perish[H6] from the way[H1870], when his wrath[H639] is kindled[H1197] but a little[H4592]. Blessed[H835] are all they that put their trust[H2620] in him.
