1Why are the nations in tumultuous agitation, and [why] do the peoples meditate a vain thing?
1Why do the nations rage, And the peoples meditate 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 Jehovah, and against his anointed, saying,
3 Let us break their bonds asunder, and cast away their cords from us!
3Let us break their bonds 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 will laugh: The Lord will have them in derision.
5 Then will he speak to them in his anger, and in his fierce displeasure will he terrify them:
5Then will 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 I have 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 tell of the decree: Jehovah 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 will givetheethe nations 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.
10Now therefore be wise, O ye kings: Be instructed, ye judges of the earth.
