Why do the
heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain
thing?
02 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the
rulers take counsel together, against the Lord,
and against his anointed, saying,
03 Let us break their bands asunder, and cast
away their cords from us.
04 He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh:
the Lord shall have them in derision.
05 Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath,
and vex them in his sore displeasure.
06 Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of
Zion.
07 I will declare the decree: the Lord hath said
unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I
begotten thee.

08 Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen
for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of
the earth for thy possession.
09 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.
