1 Why doe the heathen rage, & the people murmure in vaine? Why do the nations rage and the peoples plot in vain? Why do the nations conspire and the peoples plot in vain?
2 The Kings of the earth band themselues, and the princes are assembled together against the Lord, and against his Christ. The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD and against his Anointed, saying, The kings of the earth rise up and the rulers band together against the LORD and against his anointed, saying,
3 Let vs breake their bands, and cast their cordes from vs. “Let us burst their bonds apart and cast away their cords from us.” “Let us break their chains and throw off their shackles.”
4 But he that dwelleth in the heauen, shall laugh: the Lord shall haue them in derision. He who sits in the heavens laughs; the Lord holds them in derision. The One enthroned in heaven laughs; the Lord scoffs at them.
5 Then shall hee speake vnto them in his wrath, & vexe them in his sore displeasure, saying, Then he will speak to them in his wrath, and terrify them in his fury, saying, He rebukes them in his anger and terrifies them in his wrath, saying,
6 Euen I haue set my King vpon Zion mine holy mountaine. “As for me, I have set my King on Zion, my holy hill.” “I have installed my king on Zion, my holy mountain.”
7 I will declare the decree: that is, the Lord hath said vnto me, Thou art my Sonne: this day haue I begotten thee. I will tell of the decree: The LORD said to me, “You are my Son; today I have begotten you. I will proclaim the LORD’s decree: He said to me, “You are my son; today I have become your father.
8 Aske of me, and I shall giue thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the endes of the earth for thy possession. Ask of me, and I will make the nations your heritage, and the ends of the earth your possession. Ask me, and I will make the nations your inheritance, the ends of the earth your possession.
9 Thou shalt krush them with a scepter of yron, and breake them in pieces like a potters vessell. You shall break them with a rod of iron and dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel.” You will break them with a rod of iron; you will dash them to pieces like pottery.”
10 Be wise nowe therefore, ye Kings: be learned ye Iudges of the earth. Now therefore, O kings, be wise; be warned, O rulers of the earth. Therefore, you kings, be wise; be warned, you rulers of the earth.
11 Serue the Lorde in feare, and reioyce in trembling. Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling. Serve the LORD with fear and celebrate his rule with trembling.
12 Kisse the sonne, least he be angry, and ye perish in the way, when his wrath shall suddenly burne. blessed are all that trust in him. Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and you perish in the way, for his wrath is quickly kindled. Blessed are all who take refuge in him. Kiss his son, or he will be angry and your way will lead to your destruction, for his wrath can flare up in a moment. Blessed are all who take refuge in him.
