41:11 Look, all who were angry at you will be ashamed and humiliated;
your adversaries 1 will be reduced to nothing 2 and perish.
2:1 Why 4 do the nations rebel? 5
Why 6 are the countries 7 devising 8 plots that will fail? 9
2:2 The kings of the earth 10 form a united front; 11
the rulers collaborate 12
against the Lord and his anointed king. 13
2:3 They say, 14 “Let’s tear off the shackles they’ve put on us! 15
Let’s free ourselves from 16 their ropes!”
2:4 The one enthroned 17 in heaven laughs in disgust; 18
the Lord taunts 19 them.
2:5 Then he angrily speaks to them
and terrifies them in his rage, 20 saying, 21
2:6 “I myself 22 have installed 23 my king
on Zion, my holy hill.”
2:7 The king says, 24 “I will announce the Lord’s decree. He said to me: 25
‘You are my son! 26 This very day I have become your father!
2:8 Ask me,
and I will give you the nations as your inheritance, 27
the ends of the earth as your personal property.
2:9 You will break them 28 with an iron scepter; 29
you will smash them like a potter’s jar!’” 30
2:10 So now, you kings, do what is wise; 31
you rulers of the earth, submit to correction! 32
2:11 Serve 33 the Lord in fear!
Repent in terror! 34
2:12 Give sincere homage! 35
Otherwise he 36 will be angry, 37
and you will die because of your behavior, 38
when his anger quickly ignites. 39
How blessed 40 are all who take shelter in him! 41
21:8 You 42 prevail over 43 all your enemies;
your power is too great for those who hate you. 44
21:9 You burn them up like a fiery furnace 45 when you appear; 46
the Lord angrily devours them; 47
the fire consumes them.
72:9 Before him the coastlands 48 will bow down,
and his enemies will lick the dust. 49
110:2 The Lord 50 extends 51 your dominion 52 from Zion.
Rule in the midst of your enemies!
11:18 The 61 nations 62 were enraged,
but 63 your wrath has come,
and the time has come for the dead to be judged,
and the time has come to give to your servants, 64
the prophets, their reward,
as well as to the saints
and to those who revere 65 your name, both small and great,
and the time has come 66 to destroy those who destroy 67 the earth.”
