Why do the nations {Or, tumultuously assemble}rage,
And the peoples meditate a vain thing?
The kings of the earth set themselves,
And the rulers take counsel together,
Against Jehovah, and against his anointed, saying,
Let us break their bonds asunder,
And cast away their cords from us.
He that sitteth in the heavens will laugh:
The Lord will have them in derision.
Then will he speak unto them in his wrath,
And {Or, trouble}vex them in his sore displeasure:
Yet I have set my king
Upon my holy hill of Zion.
I will tell of the decree:
Jehovah said unto me, Thou art my son;
This day have I begotten thee.
Ask of me, and I will give thee the nations for thine inheritance,
And the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.
Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron;
Thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel.
Now therefore be wise, O ye kings:
Be instructed, ye judges of the earth.
Serve Jehovah with fear,
And rejoice with trembling.
Kiss the son, lest he be angry, and ye perish in the way,
For his wrath {Or, may}will soon be kindled.
{Or, Happy}Blessed are all they that take refuge in him.

I glorified thee on the earth, having accomplished the work which thou hast given me to do.
All the ends of the earth shall remember and turn unto Jehovah;And all the kindreds of the nations shall worship before thee.
And now, Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was.
He shall have dominion also from sea to sea,And from the River unto the ends of the earth.
I saw in the night-visions, and, behold, there came with the clouds of heaven one like unto a son of man, and he came even to the ancient of days, and they brought him near before him.
