Psalm 2
Psa 2:1 Why are the nations in an uproar and the peoples
devising a vain thing?
Psa 2:2 The kings of the earth take their stand and the rulers take
counsel together against the LORD and against His Anointed,
saying,
Psa 2:3 "Let us tear their fetters apart and cast away their cords
from us!"
Psa 2:4 He who sits in the heavens laughs, The Lord scoffs at
them.
Psa 2:5 Then He will speak to them in His anger and terrify them
in His fury, saying,
Psa 2:6 "But as for Me, I have installed My King upon Zion, My
holy mountain."
Psalm 2
Psa 2:7 "I will surely tell of the decree of the LORD: He said to
Me, 'You are My Son, today I have begotten You.
Psa 2:8 'Ask of Me, and I will surely give the nations as Your
inheritance, and the very ends of the earth as Your possession.
Psa 2:9 'You shall break them with a rod of iron, You shall shatter
them like earthenware.'"
Psa 2:10 Now therefore, O kings, show discernment; take
warning, O judges of the earth.
Psa 2:11 Worship the LORD with reverence And rejoice with
trembling.
Psa 2:12 Do homage to the Son, that He not become angry, and
you perish in the way, for His wrath may soon be kindled. How
blessed are all who take refuge in Him!
