Threatenings against the enemies of Christ's kingdom

Why are the nations so violently moved, and why are the thoughts of the people so foolish? Why do the nations rage, and the peoples plot a vain thing?
The kings of the earth have taken their place, and the rulers are fixed in their purpose, against the Lord, and against the king of his selection, saying, The kings of the earth take a stand, and the rulers take counsel together, against Yahweh, and against his Anointed, saying,
Let their chains be broken, and their cords taken from off us. “Let’s break their bonds apart, and cast their cords from us.”
Then he whose seat is in the heavens will be laughing: the Lord will make sport of them. He who sits in the heavens will laugh. The Lord will have them in derision.
Then will his angry words come to their ears, and by his wrath they will be troubled: Then he will speak to them in his anger, and terrify them in his wrath:
But I have put my king on my holy hill of Zion. “Yet I have set my King on my holy hill of Zion.”

Promise to Christ as the Head of this kingdom

I will make clear the Lord's decision: he has said to me, You are my son, this day have I given you being. I will tell of the decree. Yahweh said to me, “You are my son. Today I have become your father.
Make your request to me, and I will give you the nations for your heritage, and the farthest limits of the earth will be under your hand. Ask of me, and I will give the nations for your inheritance, the uttermost parts of the earth for your possession.
They will be ruled by you with a rod of iron; they will be broken like a potter's vessel. You shall break them with a rod of iron. You shall dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel.”

Counsel to all, to espouse its interests

So now be wise, you kings: take his teaching, you judges of the earth. Now therefore be wise, you kings. Be instructed, you judges of the earth.
Give worship to the Lord with fear, kissing his feet and giving him honour, Serve Yahweh with fear, and rejoice with trembling.
For fear that he may be angry, causing destruction to come on you, because he is quickly moved to wrath. Happy are all those who put their faith in him. Give sincere homage to the Son, lest he be angry, and you perish in the way, for his wrath will soon be kindled. Blessed are all those who take refuge in him.
