Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel.

Verse 9 is found in chapter 2 of Psalms. Psalm 2 presents a conflict between the rebellion of the nations and the government established by God. Human kings conspire against the Lord and his anointed, but the divine response is not uncertain: God asserts his sovereignty and declares the king to be his son within the context of Davidic kingship. The final invitation to serve the Lord with fear and take refuge in him turns the psalm into a reflection on authority, judgment, and trust.

Du sollst sie mit einem eisernen Zepter zerschlagen; wie Töpfe sollst du sie zerschmeißen."
Quebrantarlos has con vara de hierro: Como vaso de alfarero los desmenuzarás.
Las quebrantarás con vara de hierro; las harás pedazos como una vasija de alfarero».
Tu les briseras avec une verge de fer, Tu les briseras comme le vase d'un potier.
Tu le fiaccherai con una verga di ferro; Tu le triterai come un testo di vasellaio
Tu os esmigalharás com uma vara de ferro; tu os despedaçarás como a um vaso de oleiro.
你必用鐵杖打破他們, 把他們如同陶匠的瓦器摔碎。」
