Verse
KJV
King James Version
BSB
Berean Standard Bible
Why do the heathen
rage ,
and the people
imagine
a
vain thing
?
Why do the nations
rage and the peoples
plot
in
vain?
The kings of the earth set
themselves,
and the rulers take
counsel
together, against the LORD ,
and against his anointed ,
saying,
The kings of the earth take
their
stand
and the rulers gather
together, against the LORD and against His Anointed One:
Let us break their bands
asunder,
and cast away their cords from
us
.
“
Let us break Their chains
and cast away Their cords. ”
He
that
sitteth
in
the heavens
shall
laugh:
the LORD shall
have
them in
derision
.
The One
enthroned
in
heaven
laughs;
the Lord taunts
them.
Then shall
he speak
unto
them in his wrath
, and vex
them in his sore
displeasure.
Then He rebukes
them in His anger
, and terrifies
them in His fury:
Yet
have
I set
my king upon my holy hill
of
Zion
.
“
I have
installed
My King on
Zion,
upon My holy mountain
. ”
I will declare
the decree :
the LORD hath
said
unto
me,
Thou
art
my Son; this
day
have
I begotten
thee
.
I will proclaim
the decree spoken
to
Me
by
the LORD :
“You
are
My Son; today
I have
become
Your
Father
.
Ask of
me, and I shall
give
thee
the heathen
for
thine
inheritance, and
the uttermost
parts
of the earth for
thy
possession.
Ask Me, and I will
make
the nations
Your
inheritance, the ends
of the earth Your
possession.
Thou
shalt
break them with a
rod
of
iron; thou
shalt
dash
them in
pieces
like a
potter's
vessel
.
You
will
break them with an
iron scepter
; You
will
shatter
them like pottery
. ”
Be wise now
therefore
, O ye
kings :
be instructed
, ye
judges of the earth.
Therefore
be wise, O kings ;
be admonished
, O
judges of the earth.
Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.
Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.
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.
Kiss the Son, lest He be angry and you
perish in
your
rebellion
, when His wrath ignites
in
an
instant
. Blessed are all who
take
refuge
in Him.
