6 C’est moi qui ai oint mon roi Sur Sion, ma montagne sainte!

7 Je publierai le décret; L’Éternel m’a dit: Tu es mon fils! Je t’ai engendré aujourd’hui.

8 Demande-moi et je te donnerai les nations pour héritage, Les extrémités de la terre pour possession;

9 Tu les briseras avec une verge de fer, Tu les briseras comme le vase d’un potier.

10 Et maintenant, rois, conduisez-vous avec sagesse! Juges de la terre, recevez instruction!
