| | 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. | |
