## The Reign of Yahweh's Anointed 

###### 1
Why do the nations rage And the peoples meditate on a vain thing? 

###### 2
The kings of the earth take their stand And the rulers take counsel together Against Yahweh and against His Anointed, _saying_, 

###### 3
"Let us tear their fetters apart And cast away their cords from us!" 

###### 4
He who sits in the heavens laughs, The Lord mocks them. 

###### 5
Then He speaks to them in His anger And terrifies them in His fury, _saying_, 

###### 6
"But as for Me, I have installed My King Upon Zion, My holy mountain." 

###### 7
"I will surely tell of the decree of Yahweh: He said to Me, 'You are My Son, Today I have begotten You. 

###### 8
Ask of Me, and I will surely give the nations as Your inheritance, And the ends of the earth as Your possession. 

###### 9
You shall break them with a rod of iron, You shall shatter them like a potter's vessel.'" 

###### 10
So now, O kings, show insight; Take warning, O judges of the earth. 

###### 11
Serve Yahweh with fear And rejoice with trembling. 

###### 12
Kiss the Son, lest He become angry, and you perish _in_ the way, For His wrath may soon be kindled. How blessed are all who take refuge in Him!
