The Reign of Yahweh's Anointed

¹ Why do ^(C1)the ^(F1)nations rage
And the peoples ^(C2)meditate on a vain thing?

² The ^(C1)kings of the earth take their stand
And the rulers take counsel together
^(C2)Against Yahweh and against His ^(F1)(C3)Anointed, saying,

³ "Let us ^(C1)tear their fetters apart
And cast away their cords from us!"

⁴ He who ^(F1)sits in the heavens ^(C1)laughs,
The Lord ^(C2)mocks them.

⁵ Then He speaks to them in His ^(C1)anger
And ^(C2)terrifies them in His fury, saying,

⁶ "But as for Me, I have ^(F1)installed ^(C1)My King
Upon Zion, ^(C2)My holy mountain."

⁷ "I will surely tell of the ^(F1)decree of Yahweh:
He said to Me, 'You are ^(C1)My Son,
Today I have begotten You.

⁸ 'Ask of Me, and ^(C1)I will surely give ^(C2)the ^(F1)nations as Your inheritance,
And the ^(C3)ends of the earth as Your possession.

⁹ 'You shall ^(F1)(C1)break them with a ^(F2)rod of iron,
You shall ^(C2)shatter them like a potter's vessel.'"

¹⁰ So now, O kings, ^(C1)show insight;
Take warning, O ^(F1)judges of the earth.

¹¹ Serve Yahweh with ^(C1)fear
And rejoice with ^(C2)trembling.

^12 (F1)Kiss ^(C1)the Son, lest He become angry, and you perish in the way,
For ^(C2)His ^(F2)wrath may ^(F3)soon be kindled.
How blessed are all who ^(C3)take refuge in Him!
