|
| 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. |
