Why are ^(C1)the ^(F1)nations restless And the peoples ^(C2)plotting in vain?

The ^(C1)kings of the earth take their stand And the rulers conspire together ^(C2)Against the LORD and against His ^(F1)(C3)Anointed, saying,

"Let's ^(C1)tear their shackles apart And throw their ropes away from us!"

He who ^(F1)sits in the heavens ^(C1)laughs, The Lord ^(C2)scoffs at them.

Then He will speak to them in His ^(C1)anger And ^(C2)terrify them in His fury, saying,

"But as for Me, I have installed ^(C1)My King Upon Zion, ^(C2)My holy mountain."

"I will announce the ^(F1)decree of the LORD: He said to Me, 'You are ^(C1)My Son, Today I have fathered You.

-'Ask it of Me, and ^(C1)I will certainly give ^(C2)the ^(F1)nations as Your inheritance, And the ^(C3)ends of the earth as Your possession.

-'You shall ^(F1)(C1)break them with a ^(F2)rod of iron, You shall ^(C2)shatter them like ^(F3)earthenware.'"

Now then, you kings, ^(C1)use insight; Let yourselves be instructed, you ^(F1)judges of the earth.

Serve the LORD with ^(F1)(C1)reverence And rejoice with ^(C2)trembling.

^(F1)Kiss ^(C1)the Son, that He not be angry and you perish on the way, For ^(C2)His wrath may be kindled quickly. How blessed are all who ^(C3)take refuge in Him!

^(C1)The LORD says to my Lord: "^(C2)Sit at My right hand Until I make ^(C3)Your enemies a footstool for Your feet."

The LORD will stretch out Your strong ^(C1)scepter from Zion, saying, "^(C2)Rule in the midst of Your enemies."

Your ^(C1)people ^(F1)will volunteer freely on the day of Your ^(F2)power; ^(C2)In ^(F3)holy splendor, from the womb of the dawn, ^(F4)Your youth are to You as the ^(C3)dew.

^(C1)The LORD has sworn and will ^(C2)not ^(F1)change His mind, "You are a ^(C3)priest forever According to the order of Melchizedek."

The Lord is ^(C1)at Your right hand; He ^(F1)will ^(C2)shatter kings in the ^(C3)day of His wrath.

He will ^(C1)judge among the nations, He ^(F1)will fill them with ^(C2)corpses, He ^(F2)will ^(C3)shatter the ^(F3)chief men over a broad country.

He will ^(C1)drink from the brook by the wayside; Therefore He will ^(C2)lift up His head.
