VERSE 1 Why are the nations in an uproar, And the peoples devising a vain thing? The kings of the earth take their stand And the rulers take counsel together, against Yahweh And against His Anointed, saying, “Let us tear their fetters apart and cast away their cords from us!” CHORUS He who sits in the heavens laughs Adonai scoffs at them Then He will speak to them in His anger And terrify them in His fury VERSE 2 But as for Me, I have installed My King Upon Zion, My holy mountain I will surely tell of the decree of Yahweh He said to Me, You are My Son Today I have begotten You VERSE 3 Ask of Me And I will surely give the nations as Your inheritance And the very ends of the earth as Your possession You shall break them with a rod of iron You shall shatter them like earthenware CHORUS He who sits in the heavens laughs Adonai scoffs at them Then He will speak to them in His anger And terrify them in His fury BRIDGE Now therefore O kings Show discernment Take warning O judges of the earth Worship Yahweh With reverence And rejoice with trembling VERSE 3 Do homage to the Son that He not become angry And you perish in the way For His wrath may soon be kindled How blessed are all who take refuge in Him FINAL CHORUS He who sits in the heavens laughs Adonai scoffs at them Then He will speak to them in His anger And terrify them in His fury
