Psalms 2
2
1Why do the nations rage,
And the peoples meditate a vain thing?
2The kings of the earth set themselves,
And the rulers take counsel together,
Against Jehovah, and against his anointed, saying,
3Let us break their bonds asunder,
And cast away their cords from us.
4He that sitteth in the heavens will laugh:
The Lord will have them in derision.
5Then will he speak unto them in his wrath,
And vex them in his sore displeasure:
6Yet I have set my king
Upon my holy hill of Zion.
7I will tell of the decree:
Jehovah said unto me, Thou art my son;
This day have I begotten thee.
8Ask of me, and I will give thee the nations for thine inheritance,
And the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.
9Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron;
Thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel.
10Now therefore be wise, O ye kings:
Be instructed, ye judges of the earth.
11Serve Jehovah with fear,
And rejoice with trembling.
12Kiss the son, lest he be angry, and ye perish in the way,
For his wrath will soon be kindled.
Blessed are all they that take refuge in him.

Psalm 2
2
1 Why have the Gentiles been seething, and why have the people been pondering nonsense?
2 The kings of the earth have stood up, and the leaders have joined together as one, against the Lord and against his Christ:
3 "Let us shatter their chains and cast their yoke away from us."
4 He who dwells in heaven will ridicule them, and the Lord will mock them.
5 Then will he speak to them in his anger and trouble them with his fury.
6 Yet I have been appointed king by him over Zion, his holy mountain, preaching his precepts.
7 The Lord has said to me: You are my son, this day have I begotten you.
8 Ask of me and I will give to you: the Gentiles for your inheritance, and the ends of the earth for your possession.
9 You will rule them with an iron rod, and you will shatter them like a potter's vessel.
10 And now, O kings, understand. Receive instruction, you who judge the earth.
11 Serve the Lord in fear, and exult in him with trembling.
12 Embrace discipline, lest at any time the Lord might become angry, and you would perish from the way of the just.
13 Though his wrath can flare up in a short time, blessed are all those who trust in him.
