1 Why do the nations rage and the peoples
2 The kings of the earth take a stand,
and the rulers take counsel together
against Yahweh and against his Anointed,a saying,
3 “Let’s break their restraints apart
and cast their cords from us.”
4 He who sits in the heavens laughs.
5 Then he will speak to them in his anger,
and terrify them in his wrath, saying,
7 I will proclaim the decree of Yahweh.
He said to me, “You are my son;
today I have become your father.
and I will give the nations as your inheritance,
and the uttermost parts of the earth for your possession.
9 You will break them with a rod of iron.
You will dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel.”
Accept correction, O judges of the earth.
12 Kiss the Son lest he be angry
and you perish on the road,
for his wrath will soon be kindled.
Blessed are all those who take refuge in him.
