Why have the nations raged and the peoples are meditating on vanity?

The kings of the earth set themselves; yea, the rulers have plotted together against Jehovah and His Anointed, saying ,

We will break their bands in two, and throw off their cords from us.

He who sits in the heavens shall laugh; the Lord shall mock at them.

Then He will speak to them in His anger, and He will terrify them in His wrath;

Yea, I have set My king on My holy mount on Zion.

I will declare concerning the statute of Jehovah: He said to Me, You are My Son. Today I have begotten You.

Ask of Me, and I will give the nations as Your inheritance; and the uttermost parts of the earth as Your possession.

You shall break them with a rod of iron; You shall dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel.

Now, then, be wise, O kings; be taught, O judges of the earth:

Serve Jehovah with fear; yea, rejoice with trembling.

Kiss the Son, lest He be angry, and you perish from the way, when His wrath is kindled but a little. Oh the blessings of all those who flee to Him for refuge!
