I will tell of the decree:
Jehovah said unto me, Thou art my son;
This day have I begotten thee.
Ask of me, and I will give thee the nations for thine inheritance,
And the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.
Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron;
Thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel.

I will proclaim the Lord’s decree:

He said to me, “You are my son;(A)
    today I have become your father.(B)
Ask me,
    and I will make the nations(C) your inheritance,(D)
    the ends of the earth(E) your possession.
You will break them with a rod of iron[a];(F)
    you will dash them to pieces(G) like pottery.(H)
