1Why have nations tumultuously assembled? And do peoples meditate vanity?
1Why have the Gentiles raged, and the people devised vain things?
2Station themselves do kings of the earth, And princes have been united together, Against Jehovah, and against His Messiah:
2The kings of the earth stood up, and the princes met together, against the Lord, and against his Christ.
3`Let us draw off Their cords, And cast from us Their thick bands.'
3Let us break their bonds asunder: and let us cast away their yoke from us.
4He who is sitting in the heavens doth laugh, The Lord doth mock at them.
4He that dwelleth in heaven shall laugh at them: and the Lord shall deride them.
5Then doth He speak unto them in His anger, And in His wrath He doth trouble them:
5Then shall he speak to them in his anger, and trouble them in his rage.
6`And I--I have anointed My King, Upon Zion--My holy hill.'
6But I am appointed king by him over Sion, his holy mountain, preaching his commandment.
7I declare concerning a statute: Jehovah said unto me, `My Son Thou <FI>art<Fi> , I to-day have brought thee forth.
7The Lord hath said to me: Thou art my son, this day have I begotten thee.
8Ask of Me and I give nations--thy inheritance, And thy possession--the ends of earth.
8Ask of me, and I will give thee the Gentiles for thy inheritance, and the utmost parts of the earth for thy possession.
9Thou dost rule them with a sceptre of iron, As a vessel of a potter Thou dost crush them.'
9Thou shalt rule them with a rod of iron, and shalt break them in pieces like a potter's vessel.
10And now, O kings, act wisely, Be instructed, O judges of earth,
10And now, O ye kings, understand: receive instruction, you that judge the earth.
11Serve ye Jehovah with fear, And rejoice with trembling.
11Serve ye the Lord with fear: and rejoice unto him with trembling.
