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.”
10. And now, kings, give heed;take warning, judges on earth.
11. Serve the Lord with fear;exult with trembling,Accept correctionlest he become angry and you perish along the waywhen his anger suddenly blazes up.Blessed are all who take refuge in him!
