1Why do the nations rage, and the peoples plot a vain thing?¶
2The kings of the earth take a stand,
3"Let's break their bonds apart,
4He who sits in the heavens will laugh.
5Then he will speak to them in his anger,
6"Yet I have set my king on my holy hill of Zion."¶
7I will tell of the decree.
8Ask of me, and I will give the nations for your inheritance,
9You shall rule them with a rod of iron.
10Now therefore be wise, you kings.
11Serve the LORD with fear,
12Kiss the son, lest he be angry, and you perish in the way,
