I declare concerning a statute: Jehovah said unto me, `My Son Thou [art], I to-day have brought thee forth.

Ask of Me and I give nations -- thy inheritance, And thy possession -- the ends of earth.

Thou dost rule them with a sceptre of iron, As a vessel of a potter Thou dost crush them.'

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)
