1 Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vaine thing?

2 The Kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsell together, against the Lord, and against His Anoynted (Messiah), saying,

3 Let us breake their bandes asunder, and cast away their cords from us.

4 Hee that sitteth in the heavens shal laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision.

5 Then shall hee speake unto them in his wrath, and vexe them in his sore displeasure.

6 Yet have I set my King upon my holy hill of Sion.

7 I will declare the decree: the Lord hath said unto mee, Thou art my sonne, this day have I begotten thee.

8 Aske of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.

9 Thou shalt breake them with a rod of iron, thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potters vessell.

10 Bee wise now therefore, O yee Kings: be instructed ye Judges of the earth.

11 Serve the Lord with feare, and rejoyce with trembling.

12 Kisse the Sonne 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.
