The Messiah’s Triumph and Kingdom1Why do the [a]nations [b]rage, And the people plot a [c]vain thing?
2The kings of the earth set themselves, And the rulers take counsel together, Against the Lord and against His Anointed,[d] saying,
3“Let us break Their bonds in pieces And cast away Their cords from us.”
4He who sits in the heavens shall laugh; The Lord shall hold them in derision.
5Then He shall speak to them in His wrath, And distress them in His deep displeasure:
6“Yet I have [e]set My King [f]On My holy hill of Zion.”
7“I will declare the [g]decree: The Lord has said to Me, ‘You are My Son, Today I have begotten You.
8Ask of Me, and I will give You The nations for Your inheritance, And the ends of the earth for Your possession.
9You shall [h]break them with a rod of iron; You shall dash them to pieces like a potter’s vessel.’ ”
10Now therefore, be wise, O kings; Be instructed, you judges of the earth.
11Serve the Lord with fear, And rejoice with trembling.
12[i]Kiss the Son, lest [j]He be angry, And you perish in the way, When His wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all those who put their trust in Him. The Holy Bible, New King James Version, Copyright © 1982 Thomas Nelson. All rights reserved.
