Ask it of Me, and (A)I will certainly give (B)the [a]nations as Your inheritance,
And the (C)ends of the earth as Your possession.
You shall [b](D)break them with a [c]rod of iron,
You shall (E)shatter them like [d]earthenware.’”

10 Now then, you kings, (F)use insight;
Let yourselves be instructed, you [e]judges of the earth.
11 Serve the Lord with [f](G)reverence
And rejoice with (H)trembling.
12 [g]Kiss (I)the Son, that He not be angry and you perish on the way,
For (J)His wrath may be kindled quickly.
How blessed are all who (K)take refuge in Him!
