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.

^2 (C)Out of the mouth of babes and nursing infants
You have ^[b]ordained strength,
Because of Your enemies,
That You may silence ^(D)the enemy and the avenger.

³ When I ^(E)consider Your heavens, the work of Your fingers,
The moon and the stars, which You have ordained,
^4 (F)What is man that You are mindful of him,
And the son of man that You ^(G)visit^[c] him?
⁵ For You have made him a little lower than ^[d]the angels,
And You have crowned him with glory and honor.

^6 (H)You have made him to have dominion over the works of Your hands;
^(I)You have put all things under his feet,
⁷ All sheep and oxen—
Even the beasts of the field,
⁸ The birds of the air,
And the fish of the sea
That pass through the paths of the seas.

^9 (J)O Lord, our Lord,
How excellent is Your name in all the earth!

^(A)Praise the Lord, O my soul!
^2 (B)While I live I will praise the Lord;
I will sing praises to my God while I have my being.

^3 (C)Do not put your trust in princes,
Nor in ^[b]a son of man, in whom there is no ^[c]help.
^4 (D)His spirit departs, he returns to his earth;
In that very day ^(E)his plans perish.

^5 (F)Happy is he who has the God of Jacob for his help,
Whose hope is in the Lord his God,
^6 (G)Who made heaven and earth,
The sea, and all that is in them;
Who keeps truth forever,
^7 (H)Who executes justice for the oppressed,
^(I)Who gives food to the hungry.
^(J)The Lord gives freedom to the prisoners.

^8 (K)The Lord opens the eyes of the blind;
^(L)The Lord raises those who are bowed down;
The Lord loves the righteous.
^9 (M)The Lord watches over the strangers;
He relieves the fatherless and widow;
^(N)But the way of the wicked He ^[d]turns upside down.

^10 (O)The Lord shall reign forever—
Your God, O Zion, to all generations.

Praise the Lord!
