- Why have nations tumultuously assembled? And do peoples meditate vanity?
- 2
- Station themselves do kings of the earth, And princes have been united together, Against Jehovah, and against His Messiah:
- 3
- `Let us draw off Their cords, And cast from us Their thick bands.'
- 4
- He who is sitting in the heavens doth laugh, The Lord doth mock at them.
- 5
- Then doth He speak unto them in His anger, And in His wrath He doth trouble them:
- 6
- `And I — I have anointed My King, Upon Zion — My holy hill.'
- 7
- I declare concerning a statute: Jehovah said unto me, `My Son Thou [art], I to-day have brought thee forth.
- 8
- Ask of Me and I give nations — thy inheritance, And thy possession — the ends of earth.
- 9
- Thou dost rule them with a sceptre of iron, As a vessel of a potter Thou dost crush them.'
- 10
- And now, O kings, act wisely, Be instructed, O judges of earth,
- 11
- Serve ye Jehovah with fear, And rejoice with trembling.
- 12
- Kiss the Chosen One, lest He be angry, And ye lose the way, When His anger burneth but a little, O the happiness of all trusting in Him!
