The Reign of the Loʀᴅ’s Anointed.
And the peoples BPs 21:11devising a vain thing?
2 The APs 48:4-6kings of the earth take their stand
And the rulers take counsel together
3 “Let us AJer 5:5tear their fetters apart
And cast away their cords from us!”
The Lord BPs 59:8scoffs at them.
5 Then He will speak to them in His APs 21:8, 9; 76:7anger
And BPs 78:49, 50terrify them in His fury, saying,
Upon Zion, BPs 48:1, 2My holy mountain.”
7 “I will surely tell of the 1Or decree: The Loʀᴅ said to Medecree of the Loʀᴅ:
He said to Me, ‘You are AActs 13:33; Heb 1:5; 5:5My Son,
Today I have begotten You.
8 ‘Ask of Me, and APs 21:1, 2I will surely give BPs 22:27the 1Or Gentilesnations as Your inheritance,
And the very CPs 67:7ends of the earth as Your possession.
9 ‘You shall 1Another reading is ruleAPs 89:23; 110:5, 6; Rev 2:26, 27; 12:5; 19:15break them with a 2Or scepter or staffrod of iron,
