Semitic Parallelism Poetry # 2

Why are the Nations agitated
And the people muttering hollow words?

The leaders of the earth have taken their stand 
And high officals gather together
Against YHWH and against his anointed one

Let us break free of Gods laws
And throw off his decrees

The one enthroned in heaven,will laugh at them
YHWH will ridicule them

At that time he will speak to the rulers of earth in his anger
And terrify them in  his burning anger

I myself have installed my KING
Over the earth

Let me proclaim the decree of YHWH..................The newly installed King is speaking now
He said to me :You are my son;today I have become your Father
Ask of me and I will give you nations as your inheritance 
and the ends of the earth as your possession

You will break the nations with an iron rod
and you will shash theem like a piece of pottery

And now you rulers ....show wisdom
accept correction....you judges of the earth

Serve YHWH with fear
and rejoice with trembling

Honor The Son or YHWH will become indignant
And you will perish from the earth

For his anger flares up quickly
Happy are all those taking frfuge in him
