⁴ He who sits in the heavens ^(F)shall laugh;
The Lord shall hold them in derision.
⁵ Then He shall speak to them in His wrath,
And distress them in His deep displeasure:
⁶ “Yet I have ^[e]set My King
^[f]On My holy hill of Zion.”

⁷ “I will declare the ^[g]decree:
The Lord has said to Me,
^(G)‘You are My Son,
Today I have begotten You.
⁸ Ask of Me, and I will give You
The nations for Your inheritance,
And the ends of the earth for Your possession.
^9 (H)You shall ^[h]break them with a rod of iron;
You shall dash them to pieces like a potter’s vessel.’ ”

¹⁰ Now therefore, be wise, O kings;
Be instructed, you judges of the earth.
¹¹ Serve the Lord with fear,
And rejoice with trembling.
^12 [i]Kiss the Son, lest ^[j]He be angry,
And you perish in the way,
When ^(I)His wrath is kindled but a little.
^(J)Blessed are all those who put their trust in Him.

⁶⁸ “Blessed^(B) is the Lord God of Israel,
For ^(C)He has visited and redeemed His people,
^69 (D)And has raised up a horn of salvation for us
In the house of His servant David,
^70 (E)As He spoke by the mouth of His holy prophets,
Who have been ^(F)since the world began,
⁷¹ That we should be saved from our enemies
And from the hand of all who hate us,
^72 (G)To perform the mercy promised to our fathers
And to remember His holy covenant,
^73 (H)The oath which He swore to our father Abraham:
⁷⁴ To grant us that we,
Being delivered from the hand of our enemies,
Might ^(I)serve Him without fear,
^75 (J)In holiness and righteousness before Him all the days of our life.

⁷⁶ “And you, child, will be called the ^(K)prophet of the Highest;
For ^(L)you will go before the face of the Lord to prepare His ways,
⁷⁷ To give ^(M)knowledge of salvation to His people
By the remission of their sins,
⁷⁸ Through the tender mercy of our God,
With which the ^[a]Dayspring from on high ^[b]has visited us;
^79 (N)To give light to those who sit in darkness and the shadow of death,
To ^(O)guide our feet into the way of peace.”
