1. Why are the nations so shaken up and the people planning foolish things?
2. The kings of the earth stand in a line ready to fight, and all the leaders are against the Lord and against His Chosen One.
3. They say, "Let us break their chains and throw them away from us."
4. He Who sits in the heavens laughs. The Lord makes fun of them.
5. Then He will speak to them in His anger and make them afraid, saying,
6. "But as for Me, I have set My King on Zion, My holy mountain."
7. I will make known the words of the Lord. He said to Me, "You are My Son. Today I have become Your Father.
8. Ask of Me, and I will give the nations for you to own. The ends of the earth will belong to You.
9. You will break them using a piece of iron. And they will be broken in pieces like pots of clay."
10. So, kings, be wise. Listen, you rulers of the earth.
11. Serve the Lord with fear, and be full of joy as you shake in fear.
12. Kiss the Son. Be afraid that He may be angry and destroy you in the way. For His anger is quick. Happy are all who put their trust in Him.
