| 1. | Why do the nations rage, And the peoples plot a vain thing? |
| 2. | The kings of the earth take a stand, And the rulers take counsel together, Against Yahweh, and against his anointed, saying, |
| 3. | "Let us break their bonds apart, And cast away their cords from us." |
| 4. | He who sits in the heavens will laugh. The Lord will have them in derision. |
| 5. | Then he will speak to them in his anger, And terrify them in his wrath: |
| 6. | "Yet I have set my king on my holy hill of Zion." |
| 7. | I will tell of the decree. Yahweh said to me, "You are my son. Today I have become your father. |
| 8. | Ask of me, and I will give the nations for your inheritance, The uttermost parts of the earth for your possession. |
| 9. | You shall break them with a rod of iron. You shall dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel." |
| 10. | Now therefore be wise, you kings. Be instructed, you judges of the earth. |
| 11. | Serve Yahweh with fear, And rejoice with trembling. |
| 12. | Kiss the son, lest he be angry, and you perish in the way, For his wrath will soon be kindled. Blessed are all those who take refuge in him. |
