1Why have nations tumultuously assembled? And do peoples meditate vanity?
1Why are the nations in tumultuous agitation, and [why] do the peoples meditate a vain thing?
2Station themselves do kings of the earth, And princes have been united together, Against Jehovah, and against His Messiah:
2 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the princes plot together, against Jehovah and against his anointed:
3`Let us draw off Their cords, And cast from us Their thick bands.'
3 Let us break their bonds asunder, and cast away their cords from us!
4He who is sitting in the heavens doth laugh, The Lord doth mock at them.
4 He that dwelleth in the heavens shall laugh, the Lord shall have them in derision.
5Then doth He speak unto them in His anger, And in His wrath He doth trouble them:
5 Then will he speak to them in his anger, and in his fierce displeasure will he terrify them:
6`And I--I have anointed My King, Upon Zion--My holy hill.'
6 And I have anointed my king upon Zion, the hill of my holiness.
7I declare concerning a statute: Jehovah said unto me, `My Son Thou <FI>art<Fi> , I to-day have brought thee forth.
7 I will declare the decree: Jehovah hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; I this day have begotten thee.
8Ask of Me and I give nations--thy inheritance, And thy possession--the ends of earth.
8 Ask of me, and I will give thee nations for an inheritance, and for thy possession the ends of the earth:
9Thou dost rule them with a sceptre of iron, As a vessel of a potter Thou dost crush them.'
9 Thou shalt break them with a sceptre of iron, as a potter's vessel thou shalt dash them in pieces.
10And now, O kings, act wisely, Be instructed, O judges of earth,
10 And now, O kings, be ye wise, be admonished, ye judges of the earth.
