1
Therefore did the heathen rage, and the nations imagine vain things?
2
The kings of the earth stood up, and the rulers gathered themselves together, against the Lord, and against his Christ;
3
saying, Let us break through their bonds, and cast away their yoke from us.
4
He that dwells in the heavens shall laugh them to scorn, and the Lord shall mock them.
5
Then shall he speak to them in his anger, and trouble them in his fury.
6
But I have been made king by him on Sion his holy mountain,
7
declaring the ordinance of the Lord: the Lord said to me, You are my Son, today have I begotten you.
8
Ask of me, and I will give you the heathen for your inheritance, and the ends of the earth for your possession.
9
You shall rule them with a rod of iron; you shall dash them in pieces as a potter's vessel.
10
Now therefore understand, you⌃ kings: be instructed, all you⌃ that judge the earth.
11
Serve the Lord with fear, and rejoice in him with trembling.
12
Accept correction, lest at any time the Lord be angry, and you⌃ should perish from the righteous way: whenever his wrath shall be suddenly kindled, blessed are all they that trust in him.
