| [2]The kyngis of erthe stoden togidere; and princes camen togidere ayens the Lord, and ayens his Crist? |
[2]The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying, |
| [3]Breke we the bondis of hem; and cast we awei the yok of hem fro vs. |
[3]Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us. |
| [4]He that dwellith in heuenes schal scorne hem; and the Lord schal bimowe hem. |
[4]He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision. |
| [5]Thanne he schal speke to hem in his ire; and he schal disturble hem in his stronge veniaunce. |
[5]Then shall he speak to them in his wrath, and trouble them in his sore displeasure. |

[7]I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said to me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee. |
| [8]Axe thou of me, and Y schal yyue to thee hethene men thin eritage; and thi possessioun the termes of erthe. |
[8]Ask of me, and I will give thee the heathen for thy inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession. |
| [9]Thou schalt gouerne hem in an yrun yerde; and thou schalt breke hem as the vessel of a pottere. |
[9]Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel. |
| [10]And now, ye kyngis, vndurstonde; ye that demen the erthe, be lerud. |
[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. |
