[1] Why do the nations rage,
and the peoples plot a vain thing?
[2] The kings of the earth take a stand,
and the rulers take counsel together,
against Yahweh, and against his Anointed,§ saying,
[3] “Let’s break their bonds apart,
and cast their cords from us.”
[4] He who sits in the heavens will laugh.
The Lord§ will have them in derision.
[5] Then he will speak to them in his anger,
and terrify them in his wrath:
[6] “Yet I have set my King on my holy hill of Zion.”
[7] I will tell of the decree:
Yahweh said to me, “You are my son.
Today I have become your father.
[8] Ask of me, and I will give the nations for your inheritance,
the uttermost parts of the earth for your possession.
[9] You shall break them with a rod of iron.
You shall dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel.”
[10] Now therefore be wise, you kings.
Be instructed, you judges of the earth.
[11] Serve Yahweh with fear,
and rejoice with trembling.
[12] Give sincere homage to the Son,§ lest he be angry, and you perish on the way,
for his wrath will soon be kindled.
Blessed are all those who take refuge in him.

King James Version
[1] Why do the heathenH1471 rage,H7283(QalPerf) and the peopleH3816 imagineH1897(QalImpf) a vain thing?H7385 [2] The kingsH4428 of the earthH776 setH3320(HithImpf) themselves, and the rulersH7336(QalActPtc) take counselH3245(NiphPerf) together,H3162 against the Lord,H3068 and against his anointed,H4899 [saying], [3] Let us breakH5423 their bandsH4147 asunder,H5423(PielImpf) and cast awayH7993(HiphImpf) their cordsH5688 from us. [4] He that sittethH3427(QalActPtc) in the heavensH8064 shall laugh:H7832(QalImpf) the LordH136 shall have them in derision.H3932(QalImpf) [5] Then shall he speakH1696(PielImpf) unto them in his wrath,H639 and vexH926(PielImpf) them in his sore displeasure.H2740 [6] Yet have I setH5258(QalPerf) my kingH4428 upon my holyH6944 hillH2022 of Zion.H6726 [7] I will declareH5608(PielImpf) the decree:H2706 the LordH3068 hath saidH559(QalPerf) unto me, Thou [art] my Son;H1121 this dayH3117 have I begottenH3205(QalPerf) thee. [8] AskH7592(QalImpv) of me, and I shall giveH5414(QalImpf) [thee] the heathenH1471 [for] thine inheritance,H5159 and the uttermost partsH657 of the earthH776 [for] thy possession.H272 [9] Thou shalt breakH7489(QalImpf) them with a rodH7626 of iron;H1270 thou shalt dash them in piecesH5310(PielImpf) like a potter’sH3335(QalActPtc) vessel.H3627 [10] Be wiseH7919(HiphImpv) now therefore, O ye kings:H4428 be instructed,H3256(NiphImpv) ye judgesH8199(QalActPtc) of the earth.H776 [11] ServeH5647(QalImpv) the LordH3068 with fear,H3374 and rejoiceH1523(QalImpv) with trembling.H7461 [12] KissH5401(PielImpv) the Son,H1248 lest he be angry,H599(QalImpf) and ye perishH6(QalImpf) [from] the way,H1870 when his wrathH639 is kindledH1197(QalImpf) but a little.H4592 BlessedH835 [are] all they that put their trustH2620(QalActPtc) in him.
