Why do the nations rage, and the peoples meditate on a vain thing?
2The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers plot together, against the LORD and against His anointed, saying,
3Let us break their bands in two and cast away their cords from us.
4He who sits in the heavens shall laugh; the LORD shall mock at them.
5Then He shall speak to them in His anger, and trouble them in His wrath.
6Yea, I have set My king on My holy hill, on Zion.
7I will declare the decree of the LORD. He has said to Me, You are My Son; today I have begotten You.
8Ask of Me, and I shall give the nations for Your inheritance; and the uttermost parts of the earth for Your possession.
9You shall break them with a rod of iron; You shall dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel.
10And now be wise, O kings; be instructed, O judges of the earth.
11Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.
12Kiss the Son, lest He be angry, and you perish from the way, when His wrath is kindled in but a little time. Blessed are all who put their trust in Him.
