Why do the nations rage ,
And the peoples meditate
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 Jehovah,
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 bonds
asunder,
And cast away their cords from
us
.
“
Let us break Their chains
and cast away Their cords. ”
He
that
sitteth
in
the heavens
will
laugh:
The Lord will
have
them in
derision
.
The One
enthroned
in
heaven
laughs;
the Lord taunts
them.
Then will
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
I have set
my king Upon my holy hill
of
Zion
.
“
I have installed
My King on
Zion,
upon My holy mountain
. ”
I will tell
of
the decree :
Jehovah
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 will give
`thee'
the nations 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
. ”
Now
therefore be wise, O ye
kings :
Be instructed
, ye
judges of the earth.
Therefore be wise, O kings ;
be admonished
, O
judges of the earth.
Serve Jehovah
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 in the
way
, For
his wrath will
soon
be
kindled
. Blessed are all they
that
take refuge in him. Psalm
3
A
Psalm
of
David,
when
he
fled
from
Absalom
his
son.
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.
