[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.
