1 Wherefore did the heathen rage, and the nations imagine vain things? 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 stood up, and the rulers gathered themselves 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 saying , Let us break through their bonds, and cast away their yoke from us. “Let us burst their bonds apart and cast away their cords from us.” “Let us break their chains and throw off their shackles.”

6 But I have been made king by him on Sion his holy mountain, “As for me, I have set my King on Zion, my holy hill.” “I have installed my king on Zion, my holy mountain.”
7 declaring the ordinance of the Lord: the Lord said to me, Thou art my Son, to-day have 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 Ask of me, and I will give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the ends 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 rule them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces as a potter's vessel. 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 Now therefore understand, ye kings: be instructed, all ye that judge 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 Serve the Lord with fear, and rejoice in him with trembling. Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling. Serve the LORD with fear and celebrate his rule with trembling.
12 Accept correction, lest at any time the Lord be angry, and ye should perish from the righteous way: whensoever his wrath shall be suddenly kindled, blessed are all they 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.
