“As for me, I have (A)set my King
    on (B)Zion, my (C)holy hill.”

I will tell of the decree:
The Lord said to me, (D)“You are my Son;
    today I have begotten you.
Ask of me, and I will make the nations your heritage,
    and (E)the ends of the earth your possession.
You shall (F)break[a] them with (G)a rod of iron
    and dash them in pieces like (H)a potter's vessel.”
