Then he [a]had yet another dream, and informed his brothers of it, and said, “Behold, I have [b]had yet another dream; and behold, the sun and the moon, and eleven stars were bowing down to me.” 10 He also told it to his father as well as to his brothers; and his father rebuked him and said to him, “What is this dream that you have [c]had? Am I and your mother and (A)your brothers actually going to come to bow down to the ground before you?”

The Reign of the Lords Anointed.

Why are (A)the [a]nations restless
And the peoples (B)plotting in vain?
The (C)kings of the earth take their stand
And the rulers conspire together
(D)Against the Lord and against His [b](E)Anointed, saying,
“Let’s (F)tear their shackles apart
And throw their ropes away from us!”

He who [c]sits in the heavens (G)laughs,
The Lord (H)scoffs at them.
Then He will speak to them in His (I)anger
And (J)terrify them in His fury, saying,
“But as for Me, I have installed (K)My King
Upon Zion, (L)My holy mountain.”

“I will announce the [d]decree of the Lord:
He said to Me, ‘You are (M)My Son,
Today I have fathered You.
Ask it of Me, and (N)I will certainly give (O)the [e]nations as Your inheritance,
And the (P)ends of the earth as Your possession.
You shall [f](Q)break them with a [g]rod of iron,
You shall (R)shatter them like [h]earthenware.’”

10 Now then, you kings, (S)use insight;
Let yourselves be instructed, you [i]judges of the earth.
11 Serve the Lord with [j](T)reverence
And rejoice with (U)trembling.
12 [k]Kiss (V)the Son, that He not be angry and you perish on the way,
For (W)His wrath may be kindled quickly.
How blessed are all who (X)take refuge in Him!

The Escape to Egypt

13 Now when they had gone, behold, an (A)angel of the Lord *(B)appeared to Joseph in a dream and said, “Get up! Take the Child and His mother and flee to Egypt, and stay there until I tell you; for Herod is going to search for the Child to kill Him.”

The Ascension

And after He had said these things, (A)He was lifted up while they were watching, and a cloud took Him up, out of their sight. 10 And as they were gazing intently into the sky while He was going, then behold, (B)two men in white clothing stood beside them, 11 and they said, “(C)Men of Galilee, why do you stand looking into the sky? This Jesus, who (D)has been taken up from you into heaven, will (E)come in the same way as you have watched Him go into heaven.”

But regarding the Son He says,

(A)Your throne, God, is forever and ever,
And the scepter of righteousness is the scepter of [a]His kingdom.
(B)You have loved righteousness and hated lawlessness;
(C)Therefore God, Your God, has (D)anointed You
With the oil of joy above Your companions.”

10 And,

(E)You, Lord, in the beginning laid the foundation of the earth,
And the heavens are the works of Your hands;
11 (F)They will perish, but You remain;
(G)And they all will [b]wear out like a garment,
12 (H)And like a robe You will roll them up;
Like a garment they will also be changed.
But You are (I)the same,
And Your years will not come to an end.”

13 But to which of the angels has He ever said,

(J)Sit at My right hand,
(K)Until I make Your enemies
A footstool for Your feet”?
