- 2. The kings of the earth take a stand, and the rulers take counsel together, against Yahweh, and against his Anointed,{The word "Anointed" is the same as the word for "Messiah" or "Christ"} saying,
- 3. "Let's break their bonds apart, and cast their cords from us."
- 4. He who sits in the heavens will laugh. The Lord will have them in derision.
- 5. Then he will speak to them in his anger, and terrify them in his wrath:
- 6. "Yet I have set my king on my holy hill of Zion."
- 7. I will tell of the decree. Yahweh said to me, "You are my son. Today I have become your father.
- 8. Ask of me, and I will give the nations for your inheritance, the uttermost parts of the earth for your possession.
- 9. You shall break them with a rod of iron. You shall dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel."
- 10. Now therefore be wise, you kings. Be instructed, you judges of the earth.
- 11. Serve Yahweh with fear, and rejoice with trembling.
- 12. Give sincere homage{or, Kiss the son}, lest he be angry, and you perish in the way, for his wrath will soon be kindled. Blessed are all those who take refuge in him.
