The Anointed King Speaks

Let me announce the decree of the Lord
    that he told me:

“You are my son,
    today I have become your father.
Ask of me, and I will give you
    the nations as your inheritance,
        the ends of the earth as your possession.
You will break them with an iron rod,
    you will shatter them like pottery.”
