1 Why do people riot?
2 The kings of the earth will rise up,
and princes will consult together
Contrauay and against his anointed, saying:
3 Let's break their bonds,
And let's throw your cords from us.
4 He who dwells in heaven will laugh;
The Lord will make fun of them.
5 Then he will speak to them in his fury,
And it will disturb them with their anger.
6 But I have put my king
About Sion, my holy mountain.
7 I will publish the decree;
Jehovah you have told me: You are my son;
I fathered you today.
8 Ask of me, and I will give you as an inheritance the nations,
and as the possession of the ends of the earth.
9 You will break them with a rod of iron;
As a potter's vessel you will crumble them.
10 Now therefore, O kings, be wise;
Admitted admonition, judges of the earth.
11 Serve the Lord with fear,
And rejoice with trembling.
12 Honor the Son, lest he be angry, and you perish in the way;
Because suddenly he inflamed his anger.
Blessed are all who trust in him.
