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.
