Berean Study BibleEnglish Standard Version
1Why do the nations rage and the peoples plot in vain?1Why do the nations rage and the peoples plot in vain?
2The kings of the earth take their stand and the rulers gather together, against the LORD and against His Anointed One: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 chains and cast away Their cords.”3“Let us burst their bonds apart and cast away their cords from us.”
4The One enthroned in heaven laughs; the Lord taunts them.4He who sits in the heavens laughs; the Lord holds them in derision.
5Then He rebukes them in His anger, and terrifies them in His fury:5Then he will speak to them in his wrath, and terrify them in his fury, saying,
6“I have installed My King on Zion, upon My holy mountain.”6“As for me, I have set my King on Zion, my holy hill.”
7I will proclaim the decree spoken to Me by the LORD: “You are My Son; today I have become Your Father.7I will tell of the decree: The LORD said to me, “You are my Son; today I have begotten you.
8Ask Me, and I will make the nations Your inheritance, the ends of the earth Your possession.8Ask of me, and I will make the nations your heritage, and the ends of the earth your possession.
9You will break them with an iron scepter; You will shatter them like pottery.”9You shall break them with a rod of iron and dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel.”
10Therefore be wise, O kings; be admonished, O judges of the earth.10Now therefore, O kings, be wise; be warned, O rulers of the earth.
11Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.11Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.
12Kiss the Son, lest He be angry and you perish in your rebellion, when His wrath ignites in an instant. Blessed are all who take refuge in Him.12Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and you perish in the way, for his wrath is quickly kindled. Blessed are all who take refuge in him.
