The triumphant Messiah

(Acts 4:23-31)
1
Why doe the heathen rage, and the people murmure in vaine?
2
The Kings of the earth band themselues, and the princes are assembled together against the Lord, and against his Christ.
3
Let vs breake their bands, and cast their cordes from vs.
4
But he that dwelleth in the heauen, shall laugh: the Lord shall haue them in derision.
5
Then shall hee speake vnto them in his wrath, and vexe them in his sore displeasure, saying,
6
Euen I haue set my King vpon Zion mine holy mountaine.
7
I will declare the decree: that is, the Lord hath said vnto me, Thou art my Sonne: this day haue I begotten thee.
8
Aske of me, and I shall giue thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the endes of the earth for thy possession.
9
Thou shalt krush them with a scepter of yron, and breake them in pieces like a potters vessell.
10
Be wise nowe therefore, ye Kings: be learned ye Iudges of the earth.
11
Serue the Lord in feare, and reioyce in trembling.
12
Kisse the sonne, least he be angry, and ye perish in the way, when his wrath shall suddenly burne. blessed are all that trust 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.
