1 Why do the heathen rage, and the people devise a vain thing?
|
1 Why do the nations conspire and the peoples plot in vain?
|
|
2 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD and against His Anointed, saying,
|
2 The kings of the earth take their stand and the rulers gather together against the LORD and against his Anointed One.
|
|
3 "Let us break Their bonds asunder, and cast away Their cords from us."
|
3 "Let us break their chains," they say, "and throw off their fetters."
|
|
4 He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh; the LORD shall hold them in derision.
|
4 The One enthroned in heaven laughs; the Lord scoffs at them.
|
|
5 Then shall He speak unto them in His wrath, and vex them in His sore displeasure:
|
5 Then he rebukes them in his anger and terrifies them in his wrath, saying,
|
|
6 "Yet have I set My King upon My holy hill of Zion."
|
6 "I have installed my King on Zion, my holy hill."
|
|
7 "I will declare the decree: The LORD hath said unto Me, `Thou art My Son; this day have I begotten Thee.
|
7 I will proclaim the decree of the LORD: He said to me, "You are my Son; today I have become your Father.
|
|
8 Ask of Me, and I shall give Thee the heathen for Thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for Thy possession.
|
8 Ask of me, and I will make the nations your inheritance, the ends of the earth your possession.
|
|
9 Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; Thou shalt dash them to pieces like a potter's vessel.'"
|
9 You will rule them with an iron scepter; you will dash them to pieces like pottery."
|
|
10 Be wise now therefore, O ye kings; be instructed, ye judges of the earth.
|
10 Therefore, you kings, be wise; be warned, you rulers of the earth.
|
|
11 Serve the LORD with fear and rejoice with trembling.
|
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.
|
12 Kiss the Son, lest he be angry and you be destroyed in your way, for his wrath can flare up in a moment. Blessed are all who take refuge in him.
