The triumphant Messiah

(Acts 4:23-31)
1
Why do the nations rage (a) and the peoples plot in vain?
2
The kings of the earth take their stand and the rulers gather together, against the LORD and against His Anointed One:(b)
3
“Let us break Their chains and cast away Their cords.”
4
The One enthroned in heaven laughs; the Lord taunts them.
5
Then He rebukes them in His anger, and terrifies them in His fury:
6
I have installed My King on Zion, upon My holy mountain.”
7
I will proclaim the decree spoken to Me by the LORD:You are My Son; today I have become Your Father.(c)
8
Ask Me, and I will make the nations Your inheritance, the ends of the earth Your possession.
9
You will break them (d) with an iron scepter; You will shatter them like pottery.(e)
10
Therefore be wise, O kings; be admonished, O judges of the earth.
11
Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.
12
Kiss the Son, lest He be angry and you perish in your rebellion, when His wrath ignites in an instant. Blessed are all who take refuge in Him.

The triumphant Messiah

(Acts 4:23-31)
1
Why do the nations rage, and the peoples plot a vain thing?
2
The kings of the earth take a stand, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his Anointed,(a) saying,
3
“Let’s break their bonds apart, and cast their cords from us.”
4
He who sits in the heavens will laugh. The Lord(b) will have them in derision.
5
Then he will speak to them in his anger, and terrify them in his wrath:
6
Yet I have set my King on my holy hill of Zion.”
7
I will tell of the decree: The LORD said to me, “You are my son. Today I have become your father.
8
Ask of me, and I will give the nations for your inheritance, the uttermost parts of the earth for your possession.
9
You shall break them with a rod of iron. You shall dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel.”
10
Now therefore be wise, you kings. Be instructed, you judges of the earth.
11
Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.
12
Give sincere homage to the Son,(c) lest he be angry, and you perish on the way, for his wrath will soon be kindled. Blessed are all those who take refuge in him.
