Psalm 2
Coronation of the Son
1Why#Ac 4:25–26 do the nations rage#Is 17:12–13
and the peoples plot in vain?#Ps 83:2–3
2The kings of the earth take their stand,#Jr 49:19; 50:44
and the rulers conspire together
against the Lord and his Anointed One:#2:2 Or anointed one#1Sm 2:10; 12:3,5; 2Sm 22:51; Ps 18:50; 20:6; 28:8
3“Let’s tear off their chains
and throw their ropes off of us.”#Is 58:6; Jr 5:5; Nah 1:13
4The one enthroned#2:4 Lit who sits in heaven laughs;
the Lord ridicules them.#Ps 37:13; 59:8
5Then he speaks to them in his anger
and terrifies them in his wrath:#Ps 90:7
6“I have installed my king
on Zion, my holy mountain.”#Ps 48:2; Is 24:23
7I will declare the Lord’s decree.
He said to me, “You are my Son;#2:7 Or son, also in v. 12
today I have become your Father.#Mt 3:17; Lk 3:22; Ac 13:33; Heb 1:5; 5:5
8Ask of me,
and I will make the nations your inheritance
and the ends of the earth your possession.#Jos 23:4; Ps 111:6
9You will break them with an iron scepter;
you will shatter them like pottery.”#Ps 89:23; Rv 2:26–27; 12:5; 19:15
10So now, kings, be wise;
receive instruction, you judges of the earth.
11Serve the Lord with reverential awe
and rejoice with trembling.#Heb 12:28
12Pay homage to#2:12 Lit Kiss the Son or he will be angry
and you will perish in your rebellion,#2:12 Lit perish in the way#Jn 3:18
for his anger may ignite at any moment.#2Th 1:7–8
All who take refuge in him are happy.#Ps 5:11; 34:8,22

Psalm 2
1Why do the nations conspire#2:1 Hebrew; Septuagint rage
and the peoples plot in vain?
2The kings of the earth rise up
and the rulers band together
against the Lord and against his anointed, saying,
3“Let us break their chains
and throw off their shackles.”
4The One enthroned in heaven laughs;
the Lord scoffs at them.
5He rebukes them in his anger
and terrifies them in his wrath, saying,
6“I have installed my king
on Zion, my holy mountain.”
7I will proclaim the Lord’s decree:
He said to me, “You are my son;
today I have become your father.
8Ask me,
and I will make the nations your inheritance,
the ends of the earth your possession.
9You will break them with a rod of iron#2:9 Or will rule them with an iron scepter (see Septuagint and Syriac);
you will dash them to pieces like pottery.”
10Therefore, you kings, be wise;
be warned, you rulers of the earth.
11Serve the Lord with fear
and celebrate his rule with trembling.
12Kiss his son, or he will be angry
and your way will lead to your destruction,
for his wrath can flare up in a moment.
Blessed are all who take refuge in him.
