Berean Study BibleNew International Version
1Why do the nations rage and the peoples plot in vain?1Why do the nations conspire 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 rise up and the rulers band together against the LORD and against his anointed, saying,
3“Let us break Their chains and cast away Their cords.”3"Let us break their chains and throw off their shackles."
4The One enthroned in heaven laughs; the Lord taunts them.4The One enthroned in heaven laughs; the Lord scoffs at them.
5Then He rebukes them in His anger, and terrifies them in His fury:5He rebukes them in his anger and terrifies them in his wrath, saying,
6“I have installed My King on Zion, upon My holy mountain.”6"I have installed my king on Zion, my holy mountain."
7I will proclaim the decree spoken to Me by the LORD: “You are My Son; today I have become Your Father.7I will proclaim the LORD's decree: He said to me, "You are my son; today I have become your father.
8Ask Me, and I will make the nations Your inheritance, the ends of the earth Your possession.8Ask me, and I will make the nations your inheritance, the ends of the earth your possession.
9You will break them with an iron scepter; You will shatter them like pottery.”9You will break them with a rod of iron; you will dash them to pieces like pottery."
10Therefore be wise, O kings; be admonished, O judges of the earth.10Therefore, you kings, be wise; be warned, you rulers of the earth.
11Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.11Serve the LORD with fear and celebrate his rule 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 his son, or he will be angry and your way will lead to your destruction, for his wrath can flare up in a moment. Blessed are all who take refuge in him.
