He who [a]sits in the heavens (A)laughs,
The Lord (B)scoffs at them.
Then He will speak to them in His (C)anger
And (D)terrify them in His fury, saying,
“But as for Me, I have installed (E)My King
Upon Zion, (F)My holy mountain.”

“I will announce the [b]decree of the Lord:
He said to Me, ‘You are (G)My Son,
Today I have fathered You.
Ask it of Me, and (H)I will certainly give (I)the [c]nations as Your inheritance,
And the (J)ends of the earth as Your possession.
You shall [d](K)break them with a [e]rod of iron,
You shall (L)shatter them like [f]earthenware.’”
