The Reign of the Lord’s Anointed.
1WhyH4100 areH7283 1the 2nationsH1471 restlessH7283 And the peoplesH3816 3plottingH1897 in vainH7385?2The 4kingsH4428 of the earthH776 takeH3320 their standH3320 And the rulersH7336 conspireH3245 togetherH3162 5AgainstH5921 the LordH3068 and againstH5921 His 67AnointedH4899, saying,3“Let’s 8tearH5423 their shacklesH4147 apartH5423 And throwH7993 their ropesH5688 awayH7993 from us!”
4He who 9sitsH3427 in the heavensH8064 10laughsH7832, The LordH136 11scoffsH3932 at them.5ThenH227 He will speakH1696 to them in His 12angerH639 And 13terrifyH926 them in His furyH2740, saying,6“But as for Me, I have installedH5258 14My KingH4428 Upon ZionH6726, 15My holyH6944 mountainH2022.”
7“I will announceH5608 the 16decreeH2706 of the LordH3068: He saidH559 to Me, ‘You are 17My SonH1121, TodayH3117 I have fatheredH3205 You.8AskH7592 it of Me, and 18I will certainly giveH5414 19the 20nationsH1471 as Your inheritanceH5159, And the 21endsH657 of the earthH776 as Your possessionH272.9You shall 2223breakH7489 them with a 24rodH7626 of ironH1270, You shall 25shatterH5310 them like 26earthenwareH3627H3335.’”
10NowH6258 then, you kingsH4428, 27useH7919 insightH7919; Let yourselves be instructedH3256, you 28judgesH8199 of the earthH776.11ServeH5647 the LordH3068 with 2930reverenceH3374 And rejoiceH1523 with 31tremblingH7461.1232KissH5401 33the SonH1248, that He not be angryH599 and you perishH6 on the wayH1870, For 34His wrathH639 may be kindledH1197 quicklyH4592. How blessedH835 are allH3605 who 35takeH2620 refugeH2620 in Him!
