Verse YLT Young's Literal Translation BSB Berean Standard Bible
Why have nations tumultuously assembled? And do peoples meditate vanity ?
Why do the nations rage and the peoples plot in vain ?
Station themselves do kings of the earth , And princes have been united together, Against Jehovah, and against His Messiah :
The kings of the earth take their stand and the rulers gather together, against the LORD and against His Anointed One :
` Let us draw off Their cords, And cast from us Their thick bands . '
Let us break Their chains and cast away Their cords .
He who is sitting in the heavens doth laugh, The Lord doth mock at them.
The One enthroned in heaven laughs; the Lord taunts them.
Then doth He speak unto them in His anger, And in His wrath He doth trouble them :
Then He rebukes them in His anger, and terrifies them in His fury :
`And I -- I have anointed My King, Upon Zion -- My holy hill . '
I have installed My King on Zion , upon My holy mountain .
I declare concerning a statute: Jehovah said unto me , ` My Son Thou `art', I to-day have brought thee forth .
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 give nations -- thy inheritance, And thy possession -- the ends of earth.
Ask Me , and I will make the nations Your inheritance, the ends of the earth Your possession .
Thou dost rule them with a sceptre of iron , As a vessel of a potter Thou dost crush them. '
You will break them with an iron scepter; You will shatter them like pottery .
And now , O kings , act wisely, Be instructed , O judges of earth ,
Therefore be wise , O kings ; be admonished , O judges of the earth .
Serve ye Jehovah with fear, And rejoice with trembling.
Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.
Kiss the Chosen One , lest He be angry , And ye lose the way , When His anger burneth but a little, O the happiness of all trusting 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 .
