| Verse | |
| 1. Why do the nations rage, And the people plot a vain thing? | |
| 2. The kings of the earth set themselves, And the rulers take counsel together, Against the Lord and against His Anointed, saying, | |
| 3. "Let us break Their bonds in pieces And cast away Their cords from us." | |
| 4. He who sits in the heavens shall laugh; The Lord shall hold them in derision. | |
| 5. Then He shall speak to them in His wrath, And distress them in His deep displeasure | |
| 6. "Yet I have set My King On My holy hill of Zion." | |
| 7. "I will declare the decree The Lord has said to Me, 'You are My Son, Today I have begotten You. | |
| 8. Ask of Me, and I will give You The nations for Your inheritance, And the ends of the earth for Your possession. | |
| 9. You shall break them with a rod of iron; You shall dash them to pieces like a potter's vessel.' " | |
| 10. Now therefore, be wise, O kings; Be instructed, you judges of the earth. | |
| 11. Serve the Lord with fear, And rejoice with trembling. | |
| 12. Kiss the Son, lest He be angry, And you perish in the way, When His wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all those who put their trust in Him. |
