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.
