3. ‘Let us break their chainsand throw off their shackles.’
4. The One enthroned in heaven laughs;the Lord scoffs at them.
5. He rebukes them in his angerand terrifies them in his wrath, saying,
6. ‘I have installed my kingon Zion, my holy mountain.’
7. I will proclaim the Lord’s decree:He said to me, ‘You are my son;today I have become your father.
8. Ask me,and I will make the nations your inheritance,the ends of the earth your possession.
9. You will break them with a rod of iron;you will dash them to pieces like pottery.’
