The Reign of the LORD'S Anointed.

¹ Why are ^(C1)the ^(F1)nations restless
And the peoples ^(C2)plotting in vain?

² 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,

³ "Let's ^(C1)tear their shackles apart
And throw their ropes away from us!"

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

⁵ Then He will speak to them in His ^(C1)anger
And ^(C2)terrify them in His fury, saying,

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

⁷ "I will announce the ^(F1)decree of the LORD:
He said to Me, 'You are ^(C1)My Son,
Today I have fathered You.

⁸ '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.

⁹ 'You shall ^(F1)(C1)break them with a ^(F2)rod of iron,
You shall ^(C2)shatter them like ^(F3)earthenware.'"

¹⁰ Now then, you kings, ^(C1)use insight;
Let yourselves be instructed, you ^(F1)judges of the earth.

¹¹ Serve the LORD with ^(F1)(C1)reverence
And rejoice with ^(C2)trembling.

^12 (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!
