Psalm 2

2:1

Why do the nations rage and the peoples plot in vain?

2:2

The kings of the earth take their stand and the rulers gather together, against the LORD and against His Anointed One:

2:3

“Let us break Their chains and cast away Their cords.”

2:4

The One enthroned in heaven laughs; the Lord taunts them.

2:5

Then He rebukes them in His anger, and terrifies them in His fury:

2:6

“I have installed My King on Zion, upon My holy mountain.”

2:7

I will proclaim the decree spoken to Me by the LORD: “You are My Son; today I have become Your Father.

2:8

Ask Me, and I will make the nations Your inheritance, the ends of the earth Your possession.

2:9

You will break them with an iron scepter; You will shatter them like pottery.”

2:10

Therefore be wise, O kings; be admonished, O judges of the earth.

2:11

Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.

2:12

Kiss the Son, lest He be angry and you perish in your rebellion, when His wrath ignites in an instant. Blessed are all who take refuge in Him.
