4He who 1sitsH3427 in the heavensH8064 2laughsH7832, The LordH136 3scoffsH3932 at them.5ThenH227 He will speakH1696 to them in His 4angerH639 And 5terrifyH926 them in His furyH2740, saying,6“But as for Me, I have 6installedH5258 7My KingH4428 Upon ZionH6726, 8My holyH6944 mountainH2022.”

7“I will surelyH3588 tellH5608 of the 9decreeH2706 of the LordH3068: He saidH559 to Me, ‘You are 10My SonH1121, TodayH3117 I have begottenH3205 You.8AskH7592 of Me, and 11I will surely giveH5414 12the 13nationsH1471 as Your inheritanceH5159, And the very 14endsH657 of the earthH776 as Your possessionH272.9You shall 15 16breakH7489 them with a 17rodH7626 of ironH1270, You shall 18shatterH5310 them like 19earthenwareH3627 H3335.’”

10NowH6258 therefore, O kingsH4428, 20showH7919 discernmentH7919; TakeH3256 warningH3256, O 21judgesH8199 of the earthH776.11 22WorshipH5647 the LordH3068 with 23 24reverenceH3374 And rejoiceH1523 with 25tremblingH7461.12 26DoH5401 homageH5401 to 27the SonH1248, that He not becomeH599 angryH599, and you perishH6 in the wayH1870, For 28His wrathH639 may 29soonH4592 be kindledH1197. How blessedH835 are allH3605 who 30takeH2620 refugeH2620 in Him!
