019:002:001
Why do the heathen rage,
and the people imagine a vain thing?

019:002:002
The kings of the earth set themselves,
and the rulers take counsel together,
against the LORD,
and against his anointed,
saying,

019:002:003
Let us break their bands asunder,
and cast away their cords from us.

019:002:004
He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh:
the LORD shall have them in derision.

019:002:005
Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath,
and vex them in his sore displeasure.

019:002:006
Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.

019:002:007
I will declare the decree:
the LORD hath said unto me,
Thou art my Son;
this day have I begotten thee.

019:002:008
Ask of me,
and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance,
and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.

019:002:009
Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron;
thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel.

019:002:010
Be wise now therefore,
O ye kings:
be instructed,
ye judges of the earth.

019:002:011
Serve the LORD with fear,
and rejoice with trembling.

019:002:012
Kiss the Son,
lest he be angry,
and ye perish from the way,
when his wrath is kindled but a little.
Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.
