Why do the heathen rage
, and the people
imagine
a vain thing
?
The kings of the earth
set
themselves, and the rulers
take counsel
together
, against the LORD
, and against his anointed
, saying ,
Let us break their bands
asunder
, and cast away
their cords
from us.
He that sitteth in the heavens
shall laugh
: the Lord
shall have them in derision
.
Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath
, and vex
them in his sore displeasure
.
Yet have I set my king
upon my holy
hill
of Zion
.
I will declare the decree
: the LORD
hath said
unto me, Thou art my Son
; this day
have I begotten
thee.
Ask of me, and I shall give
thee the heathen
for thine inheritance
, and the uttermost parts
of the earth
for thy possession
.
Thou shalt break them with a rod
of iron
; thou shalt dash them in pieces
like a potter's
vessel
.
Be wise now therefore, O ye kings
: be instructed
, ye judges
of the earth
.
Serve the LORD
with fear
, and rejoice
with trembling
.
Kiss the Son
, lest he be angry
, and ye perish
from the way
, when his wrath
is kindled
but a little
. Blessed
are all they that put their trust
in him.
