The Triumphant Messiah 2The kings of the earth take their stand and the rulers gather together, against the LORD and against His Anointed One:b 3“Let us break Their chains 4The One enthroned in heaven laughs; 5Then He rebukes them in His anger, and terrifies them in His fury: 6“I have installed My King on Zion, 7I will proclaim the decree spoken to Me by the LORD: “You are My Son; today I have become Your Father.c 8Ask Me, and I will make the nations Your inheritance, the ends of the earth Your possession. 9You will break themd with an iron scepter; You will shatter them like pottery.e” 10Therefore be wise, O kings; be admonished, O judges of the earth. 11Serve the LORD with fear, 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.
