1Why ⚓do the nations rage, And the people plot a vain thing? 2The 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.” 4He who sits in the heavens ⚓shall laugh; The Lord shall hold them in derision. 5Then 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. 8Ask 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.’ ” 10Now therefore, be wise, O kings; Be instructed, you judges of the earth. 11Serve 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.
