And the peoples devising a vain thing?
2 The kings of the earth take their stand
And the rulers take counsel together
Against the LORD and against Hisb Or MessiahAnointed, saying,
3 “Let us tear their fetters apart
And cast away their cords from us!”
4 He whoc Or is enthronedsits in the heavens laughs,
The Lord scoffs at them.
5 Then He will speak to them in His anger
And terrify them in His fury, saying,
6 “But as for Me, I haved Or consecratedinstalled My King
Upon Zion, My holy mountain.”
7 “I will surely tell of thee Or decree: The Lord said to Medecree of the LORD:
He said to Me, ‘You are My Son,
Today I have begotten You.
8 ‘Ask of Me, and I will surely give thef Or Gentilesnations as Your inheritance,
And the very ends of the earth as Your possession.
9 ‘You shallg Another reading is rulebreak them with ah Or scepter or staffrod of iron,
You shall shatter them likei Lit potter’s wareearthenware.’”
