The kings of the earth set themselves, And the rulers take counsel together, Against the Lord and against His Anointed, saying,

Ask of Me, and I will give You The nations for Your inheritance, And the ends of the earth for Your possession.

Now therefore, be wise, O kings; Be instructed, you judges of the earth.

Let the enemy pursue me and overtake me; Yes, let him trample my life to the earth, And lay my honor in the dust. Selah

The Glory of the Lord in Creation

To the Chief Musician. On the instrument of Gath. A Psalm of David.

O Lord, our Lord, How excellent is Your name in all the earth, Who have set Your glory above the heavens!

O Lord, our Lord, How excellent is Your name in all the earth!

To do justice to the fatherless and the oppressed, That the man of the earth may oppress no more.

The words of the Lord are pure words, Like silver tried in a furnace of earth, Purified seven times.

As for the saints who are on the earth, “They are the excellent ones, in whom is all my delight.”

They have now surrounded us in our steps; They have set their eyes, crouching down to the earth,

Then the earth shook and trembled; The foundations of the hills also quaked and were shaken, Because He was angry.

Their line has gone out through all the earth, And their words to the end of the world. In them He has set a tabernacle for the sun,

Their offspring You shall destroy from the earth, And their descendants from among the sons of men.

All the prosperous of the earth Shall eat and worship; All those who go down to the dust Shall bow before Him, Even he who cannot keep himself alive.

The King of Glory and His Kingdom

A Psalm of David.

The earth is the Lord’s, and all its fullness, The world and those who dwell therein.

He himself shall dwell in prosperity, And his descendants shall inherit the earth.

He loves righteousness and justice; The earth is full of the goodness of the Lord.

Let all the earth fear the Lord; Let all the inhabitants of the world stand in awe of Him.

From the place of His dwelling He looks On all the inhabitants of the earth;

The face of the Lord is against those who do evil, To cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.

For evildoers shall be cut off; But those who wait on the Lord, They shall inherit the earth.

But the meek shall inherit the earth, And shall delight themselves in the abundance of peace.

For those blessed by Him shall inherit the earth, But those cursed by Him shall be cut off.

The Lord will preserve him and keep him alive, And he will be blessed on the earth; You will not deliver him to the will of his enemies.

Instead of Your fathers shall be Your sons, Whom You shall make princes in all the earth.
