[1] Why do the heathen rage, and the people murmur in vain?
[2] The Kings of the earth band themselves, and the princes are assembled together against the Lord, and against his Christ.
[3] Let us break their bands, and cast their cords from us.
[4] But he that dwelleth in the heaven 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, saying,
[6] Even I have set my king upon Zion mine holy mountain.
[7] I will declare the decree: that is, 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 ends of the earth for thy possession.
[9] Thou shalt crush them with a scepter of iron, and break them in pieces like a potter's vessel.
[10] Be wise now therefore, ye kings: be learned ye judges of the earth.
[11] Serve the Lord in fear, and rejoice in trembling.
[12] Kiss the Son, least he be angry, and ye perish in the way, when his wrath shall suddenly burn. Blessed are all that trust in him.
