You will break them with a rod of iron[a];(A)
    you will dash them to pieces(B) like pottery.(C)

10 Therefore, you kings, be wise;(D)
    be warned, you rulers(E) of the earth.
11 Serve the Lord with fear(F)
    and celebrate his rule(G) with trembling.(H)
12 Kiss his son,(I) or he will be angry
    and your way will lead to your destruction,
for his wrath(J) can flare up in a moment.
    Blessed(K) are all who take refuge(L) in him.
