Psalms

The Triumphant Messiah

1Why do the nations rageand the peoples plot in vain?

2The kings of the earth take their standand the rulers gather together,against the LORDand against His Anointed One:

3“Let us break Their chainsand cast away Their cords.”

4The One enthroned in heaven laughs;the Lord taunts them.

5Then He rebukes them in His anger,and terrifies them in His fury:

6“I have installed My King on Zion,upon My holy mountain.”

7I will proclaim the decreespoken to Me by the LORD:“You are My Son;today I have become Your Father.

8Ask Me, and I will make the nations Your inheritance,the ends of the earth Your possession.

9You will break themwith an iron scepter;You will shatter them like pottery.”

10Therefore be wise, O kings;be admonished, O judges of the earth.

11Serve the LORD with fear,and rejoice with trembling.

12Kiss the Son, lest He be angryand you perish in your rebellion, when His wrath ignites in an instant. Blessed are all who take refuge in Him.

1Why have the Gentiles raged, and the people devised vain things?

2The kings of the earth stood up, and the princes met together, against the Lord and against his Christ.

3Let us break their bonds asunder: and let us cast away their yoke from us.

4He that dwelleth in heaven shall laugh at them: and the Lord shall deride them.

5Then shall he speak to them in his anger, and trouble them in his rage.

6But I am appointed king by him over Sion his holy mountain, preaching his commandment.

7The Lord hath said to me: Thou art my son, this day have I begotten thee.

8Ask of me, and I will give thee the Gentiles for thy inheritance, and the utmost parts of the earth for thy possession.

9Thou shalt rule them with a rod of iron, and shalt break them in pieces like a potter’s vessel.

10And now, O ye kings, understand: receive instruction, you that judge the earth.

11Serve ye the Lord with fear: and rejoice unto him with trembling.

12Embrace discipline, lest at any time the Lord be angry, and you perish from the just way.

13When his wrath shall be kindled in a short time, blessed are all they that trust in him.
