1 ✡Acts 4:25 Therefore did the heathen rage, and the nations imagine vain things?

2 The kings of the earth stood up, and the rulers gathered themselves together, against the Lord, and against his Christ;

3 saying, Let us break through their bonds, and cast away their yoke from us.

4 He that dwells in the heavens shall laugh them to scorn, and the Lord shall mock them.

5 Then shall he speak to them in his anger, and trouble them in his fury.

6 But I have been made king by him on Sion his holy mountain,

7 declaring the ordinance of the Lord: the Lord said to me, ✡Acts 13:33; Heb 1:5 You are my Son, today have I begotten you.

8 Ask of me, and I will give you the heathen for your inheritance, and the ends of the earth for your possession.

9 You shall *Gr. tend them as a shepherd. Rev. 2:27. rule them with a rod of iron; you shall dash them in pieces as a potter's vessel.

10 Now therefore understand, you⌃ kings: be instructed, all you⌃ that judge the earth.

11 Serve the Lord with fear, and rejoice in him with trembling.

12 †Note. - This rendering or a similar one the Jews maintain. Accept correction, lest at any time the Lord be angry, and you⌃ should perish from the righteous way: whenever his wrath shall be suddenly kindled, blessed are all they that trust in him.
