| 1: Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine
a vain thing? |
| |
| 2: The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take
counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying,
|
| |
| 3:
Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords
from us. |
| |
| 4: He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall
have them in derision. |
|
| 5: Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in
his sore displeasure. |
| |
| 6: Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.
|
| |
| 7: I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou
art my Son; this day have I begotten thee. |
| |
| 8: Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine
inheritance, and the uttermost parts 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: Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges
of the earth. |
| |
| 11: Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.
|
| |
| 12: 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. |
