1Why do the nations rage, And the peoples meditate a vain thing?
1Why have the Gentiles raged, and the people devised vain things?
2The kings of the earth set themselves, And the rulers take counsel together, Against Jehovah, and against his anointed, saying,
2The kings of the earth stood up, and the princes met together, against the Lord, and against his Christ.
3Let us break their bonds asunder, And cast away their cords from us.
3Let us break their bonds asunder: and let us cast away their yoke from us.
4He that sitteth in the heavens will laugh: The Lord will have them in derision.
4He that dwelleth in heaven shall laugh at them: and the Lord shall deride them.
5Then will he speak unto them in his wrath, And vex them in his sore displeasure:
5Then shall he speak to them in his anger, and trouble them in his rage.
6Yet I have set my king Upon my holy hill of Zion.
6But I am appointed king by him over Sion, his holy mountain, preaching his commandment.
7I will tell of the decree: Jehovah said unto me, Thou art my son; This day have I begotten thee.
7The Lord hath said to me: Thou art my son, this day have I begotten thee.
8Ask of me, and I will givetheethe nations for thine inheritance, And the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.
8Ask of me, and I will give thee the Gentiles for thy inheritance, and the utmost parts of the earth for thy possession.
9Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; Thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel.
9Thou shalt rule them with a rod of iron, and shalt break them in pieces like a potter's vessel.
10Now therefore be wise, O ye kings: Be instructed, ye judges of the earth.
10And now, O ye kings, understand: receive instruction, you that judge the earth.
11Serve Jehovah with fear, And rejoice with trembling.
11Serve ye the Lord with fear: and rejoice unto him with trembling.
