God's Chosen King
1 #
Acts 4.25–26
Why do the nations plan rebellion?
Why do people make their useless plots?
2Their kings revolt,
their rulers plot together against the LORD
and against the king he chose.
3“Let us free ourselves from their rule,” they say;
“let us throw off their control.”
4From his throne in heaven the Lord laughs
and mocks their feeble plans.
5Then he warns them in anger
and terrifies them with his fury.
6“On Zion,#2.6 Zion: See Zion in Word List. my sacred hill,” he says,
“I have installed my king.”

Acts 13.33; Heb 1.5; 5.5 “I will announce,” says the king, “what the LORD has declared.
He said to me: ‘You are my son;
today I have become your father.
8Ask, and I will give you all the nations;
the whole earth will be yours.
9 #
Rev 2.26–27; 12.5; 19.15 You will break them with an iron rod;
you will shatter them in pieces like a clay pot.’ ”
10Now listen to this warning, you kings;
learn this lesson, you rulers of the world:
11Serve the LORD with fear;
12tremble and bow down to him;#2.12 Probable text tremble… him; some other possible texts with trembling kiss his feet and with trembling kiss the Son and tremble and kiss the mighty one; Hebrew unclear.
or else his anger will be quickly aroused,
and you will suddenly die.
Happy are all who go to him for protection.

Psalm 2
1Why do the nations gather together?
Why do their people devise useless plots?
2Kings take their stands.
Rulers make plans together
against the Lord and against his Messiah #2:2 Or “anointed one.” by saying,
3“Let’s break apart their chains
and shake off their ropes.”
4The one enthroned in heaven laughs.
The Lord makes fun of them.
5Then he speaks to them in his anger.
In his burning anger he terrifies them by saying,
6“I have installed my own king on Zion, my holy mountain.”
7I will announce the Lord’s decree.
He said to me:
“You are my Son.
Today I have become your Father.
8Ask me, and I will give you the nations as your inheritance
and the ends of the earth as your own possession.
9You will break them with an iron scepter.
You will smash them to pieces like pottery.”
10Now, you kings, act wisely.
Be warned, you rulers of the earth!
11Serve the Lord with fear, and rejoice with trembling.
12Kiss the Son, or he will become angry
and you will die on your way
because his anger will burst into flames.
Blessed is everyone who takes refuge in him.
