Berean Study BibleNET Bible
1Why do the nations rage and the peoples plot in vain?1Why do the nations rebel? Why are the countries devising plots that will fail?
2The kings of the earth take their stand and the rulers gather together, against the LORD and against His Anointed One:2The kings of the earth form a united front; the rulers collaborate against the LORD and his anointed king.
3“Let us break Their chains and cast away Their cords.”3They say, "Let's tear off the shackles they've put on us! Let's free ourselves from their ropes!"
4The One enthroned in heaven laughs; the Lord taunts them.4The one enthroned in heaven laughs in disgust; the Lord taunts them.
5Then He rebukes them in His anger, and terrifies them in His fury:5Then he angrily speaks to them and terrifies them in his rage, saying,
6“I have installed My King on Zion, upon My holy mountain.”6"I myself have installed my king on Zion, my holy hill."
7I will proclaim the decree spoken to Me by the LORD: “You are My Son; today I have become Your Father.7The king says, "I will announce the LORD's decree. He said to me: 'You are my son! This very day I have become your father!
8Ask Me, and I will make the nations Your inheritance, the ends of the earth Your possession.8Ask me, and I will give you the nations as your inheritance, the ends of the earth as your personal property.
9You will break them with an iron scepter; You will shatter them like pottery.”9You will break them with an iron scepter; you will smash them like a potter's jar!'"
10Therefore be wise, O kings; be admonished, O judges of the earth.10So now, you kings, do what is wise; you rulers of the earth, submit to correction!
11Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.11Serve the LORD in fear! Repent in terror!
12Kiss the Son, lest He be angry and you perish in your rebellion, when His wrath ignites in an instant. Blessed are all who take refuge in Him.12Give sincere homage! Otherwise he will be angry, and you will die because of your behavior, when his anger quickly ignites. How blessed are all who take shelter in him!
