1
Why do the nations fume, and the peoples meditate on emptiness?
2
The kings of the earth stood forth, and the rulers consulted together, against Jehovah, and against His anointed.
3
Let us pull off their bonds, and cast away from us their ropes.
4
He who sits in the heavens shall laugh; the Lord shall hold them in derision.
5
Then He shall speak to them in His anger, and in His fierceness vex them.
6
But I have anointed My kingupon Zion, the mountain of My holiness.
7
I will tell of the statute; Jehovah has said to me, Thou art My Son; today I have begotten Thee.
8
Ask of Me, and I will give the nations for Thine inheritance, and for Thy possession the ends of the earth.
9
Thou shalt break them up with a scepter of iron; as a vessel of a potter Thou shalt scatter them.
10
And now, O ye kings, have intelligence; be instructed, ye judges of the earth.
11
Serve Jehovah with fear, and rejoice with quivering.
12
Kiss the Son, lest He be angry, and you perish in the way, for His anger will burn for but a little. Happy are all they who confide in Him.
