¹WHY do the Gentiles rage and the peoples imagine vain things? ²The kings of the earth and the rulers have conspired and have taken counsel together against Yahvah and against his anointed, saying, ³Let us break their bands apart, and let us cast away their yoke from us. ⁴He that lives in heaven will laugh, and the Lord will mock at them. ⁵Then he will speak to them in his anger, and terrify them in his wrath and say, ⁶I have appointed my king over Zion, my holy mountain,

⁷To declare my promise; Yahvah has said to me, You are my Son; this day I have begotten you. ⁸Ask of me, and I will give you the heathen for your inheritance and the uttermost parts of the earth for your dominion. ⁹You will shepherd them with a rod of iron; you will break them in pieces like a potter's vessel.

¹⁰Be wise now, therefore, oh kings; be instructed, oh judges of the earth. ¹¹Serve Yahvah with reverence, and uphold him with trembling. ¹²Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and you perish from his way while his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all those who put their trust in him.
