Why do the nations conspire
And the peoples plot in vain?
The kings of the earth take their stand
And the rulers gather together
Against the LORD
And against his Anointed One
Let us break their chains they say
And throw off their fetters
The One enthroned in heaven laughs
The Lord scoffs at them
Then he rebukes them in his anger
And terrifies them in his wrath saying
I have installed my King on Zion
My holy hill
I will proclaim the decree of the LORD
He said to me
You are my Son
Today I have become your Father
I have become your Father
Ask of me
And I will make the nations your inheritance
The ends of the earth your possession
You will rule them with an iron scepter
You will dash them to pieces like pottery
Therefore you kings
Be wise be warned
You rulers of the earth
Serve the LORD with fear
Rejoice with trembling
Kiss the Son
Lest he be angry
And you be destroyed in your way
For his wrath can flare up in a moment
Blessed are all who take refuge in him
Blessed are all who take refuge in him
