1 VVHY did the Gentiles rage, and peoples meditate vaine things?
2 The kings of the earth stood vp, and the princes came together in one against our Lord, and against his Christ.
3 Let vs breake their bondes a sunder: and let vs cast away their yoke from vs.
4 He that dwelleth in the heauens, shal laugh at them: and our Lord shal scorne them.
5 Then shal he speake to them in his wrath, & in his furie he shal truble them.
6 But I am appoynted king by him ouer Sion his holie hil, preaching his precept.
7 The Lord said to me; Thou art my Sonne, I this day haue begotten thee.
8 Aske of me, and I wil geue thee the Gentiles, for thyne inheritance, and thy possession the endes of the earth.
9 Thou shalt rule them in a rod of yron, and as a potters vessel thou shalt breake them in peeces.
10 And now ye kings vnderstand: take instruction you that iudge the earth.
11 Serue our Lord in feare: and reioyce to him with trembling.
12 Apprehend discipline lest sometime our Lord be wrath, and you perish out of the iust way.
13 When his wrath shal burne in short time, blessed are al that trust in him.
