8Ask of Me and I give nations—thy inheritance, And thy possession—the ends of earth.
9Thou dost rule them with a sceptre of iron, As a vessel of a potter Thou dost crush them.’
10And now, O kings, act wisely, Be instructed, O judges of earth,
11Serve ye Jehovah with fear, And rejoice with trembling.
12Kiss the Chosen One, lest He be angry, And ye lose the way, When His anger burneth but a little, O the happiness of all trusting in Him!
Psalm 3

Ask of me, and I will make the nations your heritage,
and the ends of the earth your possession.
You shall break them with a rod of iron
and dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel.”
Now therefore, O kings, be wise;
be warned, O rulers of the earth.
Serve the Lord with fear,
and rejoice with trembling.
Kiss the Son,
lest he be angry, and you perish in the way,
for his wrath is quickly kindled.
Blessed are all who take refuge in him.

and I will make the nations your inheritance
and the ends of the earth your possession.
You will break them with an iron scepter;
you will shatter them like pottery.”

receive instruction, you judges of the earth.
Serve the Lord with reverential awe

and you will perish in your rebellion,
for his anger may ignite at any moment.
All who take refuge in him are happy.

Only ask, and I will give you the nations as your inheritance,
the whole earth as your possession.
You will break them with an iron rod
and smash them like clay pots.’ ”
Now then, you kings, act wisely!
Be warned, you rulers of the earth!
Serve the Lord with reverent fear,
and rejoice with trembling.
Submit to God’s royal son, or he will become angry,
and you will be destroyed in the midst of all your activities—
for his anger flares up in an instant.
But what joy for all who take refuge in him!

Ask of me,
And I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance,
And the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.
Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron;
Thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel.
Be wise now therefore, O ye kings:
Be instructed, ye judges of the earth.

And ye perish from the way,
When his wrath is kindled but a little.
Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.
