4. The one enthroned in heaven laughs;the Lord derides them,
5. Then he speaks to them in his anger,in his wrath he terrifies them:
6. “I myself have installed my kingon Zion, my holy mountain.”
7. I will proclaim the decree of the Lord,he said to me, “You are my son;today I have begotten you.
8. Ask it of me,and I will give you the nations as your inheritance,and, as your possession, the ends of the earth.
9. With an iron rod you will shepherd them,like a potter’s vessel you will shatter them.”
