6 “I have installed My King on Zion, upon My holy mountain.” “As for me, I have set my King on Zion, my holy hill.” Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion. “But as for Me, I have installed My King Upon Zion, My holy mountain.” “I have installed my king on Zion, my holy mountain.”
7 I will proclaim the decree spoken to Me by the LORD: “You are My Son; today I have become Your Father. I will tell of the decree: The LORD said to me, “You are my Son; today I have begotten you.

Therefore, you kings, be wise; be warned, you rulers of the earth.

12 Kiss 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. Kiss 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. Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish <i>from</i> the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed <i>are</i> all they that put their trust in him.

Kiss 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.
