&nb= sp; = against the LORD, and against his anointed.

³ "Let = us break their chains," they cry,

&nb= sp; "and throw off their ropes from us."

⁴ He who is enthroned in the heavens laughs= ;

&nb= sp; the LORD scoffs at them.

⁵ Then he sp= eaks to them in his wrath,

&nb= sp; and terrifies them in his fury.

⁶ "I ha= ve established my king

&nb= sp; on Zion, my holy hill."

⁷ I will ann= ounce the decree.

&nb= sp; The LORD said to me:

&nb= sp; = "You are my son;

&nb= sp; = this day have I have become your father.

⁸ Ask me, an= d I will give you the nations as your inheritance,

&nb= sp; and the ends of the earth as your possession.

⁹ You will b= reak them with a rod of iron;

&nb= sp; you will dash them in pieces like a potter's clay pot."<= /p>

I will worship toward your holy temple

&nb= sp; in reverence of you.

⁸ Lead me, O= LORD, in your righteousness

make your way straight before me.

⁹ For there is no truth in their mouths,

&nb= sp; their hearts desire destruction,

&nb= sp; their throats are an open grave,

&nb= sp; their tongues speak deceptive flattery.

¹⁰ Hold them guilty, O God,

&nb= sp; let them fall by their own schemes;
