Why do the nations rage and the peoples plot in vain? |
|
2
|
The kings of the earth take their stand and the rulers gather together, against the LORD and against His Anointed One: |
|
3
|
“Let us break Their chains and cast away Their cords.” |
|
4
|
The One enthroned in heaven laughs; the Lord taunts them. |
|
5
|
Then He rebukes them in His anger, and terrifies them in His fury: |
|
6
|
“I have installed My King on Zion, upon My holy mountain.” |
|
7
|
I will proclaim the decree spoken to Me by the LORD: “You are My Son; today I have become Your Father. |
|
8
|
Ask Me, and I will make the nations Your inheritance, the ends of the earth Your possession. |
|
9
|
You will break them with an iron scepter; You will shatter them like pottery.” |
|
10
|
Therefore be wise, O kings; be admonished, O judges of the earth. |
|
11
|
Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling. |
|
12
|
Kiss the Son, lest He be angry and you perish in your rebellion, when His wrath ignites in an instant. Blessed are all who take refuge in Him. |
