Ask of Me, and (A)I will surely give (B)the [a]nations as Your inheritance,
And the (C)ends of the earth as Your possession.
You shall [b](D)break them with a [c]rod of iron,
You shall (E)shatter them like a potter’s vessel.’”

10 So now, O kings, (F)show insight;
Take warning, O [d]judges of the earth.
11 Serve Yahweh with (G)fear
And rejoice with (H)trembling.
12 [e]Kiss (I)the Son, lest He become angry, and you perish in the way,
For (J)His [f]wrath may [g]soon be kindled.
How blessed are all who (K)take refuge in Him!
