Psalms 2
2
1Why do the nations rage, # Ps 46:6; Rev 17:14
and the peoples plot in vain?
2The kings of the earth set themselves, # Ps 48:4
and the rulers take counsel together,
against the Lord
and against His anointed, # Ps 45:7 saying,
3“Let us tear off their bonds
and cast away their ropes from us.” # Jer 5:5
4He who sits in the heavens laughs; # Ps 37:13; 59:8
the Lord ridicules them.
5Then He will speak to them in His wrath
and terrify them in His burning anger:
6“I have set My king
on Zion, My holy hill.” # Ps 45:6; 48:1–2
7I will declare the decree of the Lord:
He said to me, “You are My son;
today have I begotten you. # Ac 13:33; Heb 5:5
8Ask of Me,
and I will give you the nations for your inheritance,
and the ends of the earth for your possession. # Ps 22:27; 72:8
9You will break them with a rod of iron; # Ps 89:23; Rev 12:5
you will dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel.”
10Now then, you kings, be wise;
be admonished, you judges of the earth.
11Serve the Lord with fear;
and tremble with trepidation! # Php 2:12
12Kiss the son, # 1Sa 10:1; Jn 5:23 lest He become angry,
and you perish in the way,
when His wrath is kindled but a little.
Blessed are all who seek refuge in Him.

Psalms 2
2
The Triumphant Messiah
(Acts 4:23–31)
1Why do the nations rage #2:1 Or noisily assemble; see Revelation 11:18.
and the peoples plot in vain?
2The kings of the earth take their stand
and the rulers gather together,
against the Lord
and against His Anointed One:#2:2 Cited in Acts 4:25–26
3“Let us break Their chains
and cast away Their cords.”
4The One enthroned in heaven laughs;
the Lord taunts them.
5Then He rebukes them in His anger,
and terrifies them in His fury:
6“I have installed My King on Zion,
upon My holy mountain.”
7I will proclaim the decree
spoken to Me by the Lord:
“You are My Son;
today I have become Your Father.#2:7 Literally today I have begotten You; cited in Acts 13:33, Hebrews 1:5, and Hebrews 5:5
8Ask Me, and I will make the nations Your inheritance,
the ends of the earth Your possession.
9You will break them #2:9 LXX You will rule them or You will shepherd them with an iron scepter;
You will shatter them like pottery.#2:9 Cited in Revelation 2:27; see also Revelation 12:5 and Revelation 19:15.”
10Therefore be wise, O kings;
be admonished, O judges of the earth.
11Serve the Lord with fear,
and rejoice with trembling.
12Kiss 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.
