1 Why do the nations rage, and the peoples meditate vain {things (LXX/NT)}?
2 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against LORD, and against his anointed, [saying],
3 Let us break their bonds apart, and cast away their cords from us.
4 He who sits in the heavens will laugh. LORD will have them in derision.
5 Then he will speak to them in his wrath, and vex them in his great displeasure.
6 Yet I have set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.
7 I will tell of the decree. LORD said to me, Thou are my son, this day I have begotten thee.
8 Ask of me, and I will give [thee] the nations for thine inheritance, and the outermost parts of the earth for thy possession.
9 Thou shall break them with a rod of iron, thou shall dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel.
