Why do the nations rage And the people's plot in vain? i The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the lord and against his Anointed, saying, Let us burst their bonds apart and castaway their cords from us. He who sits in the heavens laughs; The lord holds them in derision. Then he will speak to them in his wrath, and terrify them and his fury, saying, as for me I have set my king on Zion, my holy hill. I will tell of the decree: the Lord said to me, You are my Son; Today I have begotten you. Ask of me, and I will make the nation's your heritage, And the ends of the earth your possession. you shall break them with a for of iron And dash them in pieces like a potters vessel. Now therefore, I kings be wise; He warned, O rulers of the earth. Serve the Lord with fear, And rejoice with trembling. Kids the Son, Lest he be angry, and you perish in the way, For his wrath is quickly kindled. Blessed are all those who take refuge in him.
