The kings of the earth take their stand;
And the rulers take counsel together
Against the Lord and His Anointed (the Davidic King, the Messiah, the Christ), saying,

In his days may the righteous flourish,
And peace abound until the moon is no more.

May he also rule from sea to sea
And from the River [Euphrates] to the ends of the earth.

Thou carriest them away as with a flood; they are as a sleep: in the morning they are like grass which groweth up.
