✧1Why do the nations rage and the peoples plot in vain? ✧2The kings of the earth take their stand and the rulers gather together, against the LORD and against His Anointed One: ✧3“Let us break Their chains and cast away Their cords.” ✧4The One enthroned in heaven laughs; the Lord taunts them. ✧5Then He rebukes them in His anger, and terrifies them in His fury: ✧6“I have installed My King on Zion, upon My holy mountain.” ✧7I will proclaim the decree spoken to Me by the LORD: “You are My Son; today I have become Your Father. ✧8Ask Me, and I will make the nations Your inheritance, the ends of the earth Your possession. ✧9You will break them with an iron scepter; You will shatter them like pottery.”

✧11Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.
✧12Kiss the Son, lest He be angry and you perish in your rebellion, when His wrath ignites in an instant. Blessed are all who take refuge in Him.
