Why
do
the
heathen
rage,
and
the
people
imagine
a
vain
thing?
2
The
kings
of
the
earth
set
themselves,
and
the
rulers
take
counsel
together,
against
the
LORD,
and
against
his
anointed,
[saying],
3
Let
us
break
their
bands
asunder,
and
cast
away
their
cords
from
4
He
that
sitteth
in
the
heavens
shall
laugh:
the
Lord
shall
have
them
in
derision.
5
Then
shall
he
speak
unto
them
in
his
wrath,
and
vex
them
in
his
sore
displeasure.
6
Yet
have
I
set
my
king
upon
my
holy
hill
of
Zion.
7
I
will
declare
the
decree:
the
LORD
hath
said
unto
me,
Thou
[art]
my
Son;
this
day
have
I
begotten
thee.
8
Ask
of
me,
and
I
shall
give
[thee]
the
heathen
[for]
thine
inheritance,
and
the
uttermost
parts
of
the
earth
[for]
thy
possession.
9
Thou
shalt
break
them
with
a
rod
of
iron;
thou
shalt
dash
them
in
pieces
like
a
potter’s
vessel.
10
Be
wise
now
therefore,
O
ye
kings:
be
instructed,
ye
judges
of
the
earth.
11
Serve
the
LORD
with
fear,
and
rejoice
with
trembling.
12
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.
