⁴ He who ^(E)sits in the heavens ^(F)laughs;
    the Lord holds them in derision.
⁵ Then he will speak to them in his ^(G)wrath,
    and terrify them in his fury, saying,
⁶ “As for me, I have ^(H)set my King
    on ^(I)Zion, my ^(J)holy hill.”

⁷ I will tell of the decree:
The Lord said to me, ^(K)“You are my Son;
    today I have begotten you.
⁸ Ask of me, and I will make the nations your heritage,
    and ^(L)the ends of the earth your possession.
⁹ You shall ^(M)break^[b] them with ^(N)a rod of iron
    and dash them in pieces like ^(O)a potter's vessel.”

¹⁰ Now therefore, O kings, be wise;
    be warned, O rulers of the earth.
^11 (P)Serve the Lord with ^(Q)fear,
    and ^(R)rejoice with ^(S)trembling.
^12 (T)Kiss ^(U)the Son,
    lest he be angry, and you perish in the way,
    for his ^(V)wrath is quickly kindled.
^(W)Blessed are all who take refuge in him.

² O men,^[a] how long shall my honor be turned into shame?
    How long will you love vain words and seek after ^(E)lies? Selah
³ But know that the Lord has ^(F)set apart ^(G)the godly for himself;
    the Lord hears when I call to him.

^4 (H)Be angry,^[b] and do not sin;
    ^(I)ponder in your own hearts ^(J)on your beds, and be silent. Selah
⁵ Offer ^(K)right sacrifices,
    and put your ^(L)trust in the Lord.

⁶ There are many who say, “Who will show us some good?
    ^(M)Lift up ^(N)the light of your face upon us, O Lord!”
⁷ You have put ^(O)more joy in my heart
    than they have when their grain and wine abound.

⁸ In peace I will both ^(P)lie down and sleep;
    for you alone, O Lord, make me ^(Q)dwell in safety.
