Berean Study BibleKing James Bible
1Why do the nations rage and the peoples plot in vain?1Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?
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.”3Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.
4The One enthroned in heaven laughs; the Lord taunts them.4He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision.
5Then He rebukes them in His anger, and terrifies them in His fury:5Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure.
6“I have installed My King on Zion, upon My holy mountain.”6Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.
7I will proclaim the decree spoken to Me by the LORD: “You are My Son; today I have become Your Father.7I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee.
8Ask Me, and I will make the nations Your inheritance, the ends of the earth Your possession.8Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.
9You will break them with an iron scepter; You will shatter them like pottery.”9Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel.
10Therefore be wise, O kings; be admonished, O judges of the earth.10Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges 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 ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.
