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_Jehovah, and against his anointed, saying,( Act 4:26 )
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_Jehovah 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_Jehovah 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_Jehovah 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.
