Chapter |
|
|
|
1 |
Why do the nations
rage,
And the people plot 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
bonds in pieces
And cast away
Their cords from us.”
|
|
4 |
He who sits in the
heavens shall laugh;
The Lord shall hold them in derision.
|
|
5 |
Then He shall speak
to them in His wrath,
And distress them in His deep displeasure:
|
|
6 |
“Yet I have set My
King
On My holy hill of Zion.”
|
|
7 |
“I will declare the
decree:
The LORD has said to Me,
‘You are My Son,
Today I have begotten You.
|
|
8 |
Ask of Me, and I
will give You
The nations for Your inheritance,
And the ends of the earth for Your possession.
|
|
9 |
You shall break them
with a rod of iron;
You shall dash them to pieces like a potter’s vessel.’ ”
|
|
10 |
Now therefore, be
wise, O kings;
Be instructed, you judges of the earth.
|
|
11 |
Serve the LORD with
fear,
And rejoice with trembling.
|
|
12 |
Kiss the Son, lest
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.
