1Why are the nations in tumultuous agitation, and [why] do the peoples meditate a vain thing?
1Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?
2 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the princes plot together, against Jehovah and against his anointed:
2The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord, and against his anointed, saying,
3 Let us break their bonds asunder, and cast away their cords from us!
3Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.
4 He that dwelleth in the heavens shall laugh, the Lord shall have them in derision.
4He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision.
5 Then will he speak to them in his anger, and in his fierce displeasure will he terrify them:
5Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure.
6 And I have anointed my king upon Zion, the hill of my holiness.
6Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.
7 I will declare the decree: Jehovah hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; I this day have begotten thee.
7I will declare the decree: the Lord hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee.
8 Ask of me, and I will give thee nations for an inheritance, and for thy possession the ends of the earth:
8Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.
9 Thou shalt break them with a sceptre of iron, as a potter's vessel thou shalt dash them in pieces.
9Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel.
10 And now, O kings, be ye wise, be admonished, ye judges of the earth.
10Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth.
