Tehillim (Psalms) 2
2
1Why do the nations rage,#Quoted in Acts 4:25, 26. See also Dan. 2:44; Dan. 7:13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28; Hag. 2:22; Zech. 14:9 and Rev. 11:15 And the peoples meditate emptiness?
2The sovereigns of the earth take their stand, And the rulers take counsel together, Against יהוה and against His Messiah, and say,
3Let us tear apart Their bonds, And throw away Their ropes from us.
4He who is sitting in the heavens laughs, יהוה mocks at them.
5Then He speaks to them in His wrath, And troubles them in His rage, saying,
6But I, I have set My Sovereign on Tsiyon, My set-apart mountain.
7“I inscribe for a law: יהוה has said to Me, ‘You are My Son, Today I have brought You forth.
8Ask of Me, and I make the nations Your inheritance, And the ends of the earth Your possession.
9Break them with a rod of iron, Dash them to pieces like a potter’s vessel.’ ”
10And now, be wise, O sovereigns; Be instructed, you rulers of the earth.
11Serve יהוה with fear, And rejoice with trembling.
12Kiss the Chosen,#Hebrew, Nashqu ḇar. Ḇar - Chosen in Hebrew but Son in Aramaic. lest He be enraged, And you perish in the way, For soon His wrath is to be kindled. Blessed are all those taking refuge in Him.

Psalms 2
2
God’s Chosen King
1Why are the nations so angry?
Why are the people making useless plans?
2The kings of the earth prepare to fight.
Their leaders make plans together
against the Lord
and his appointed king.
3“Let’s break the chains that hold us prisoners.
Let’s throw off the ropes that tie us,” the nations say.
4But the Lord in heaven laughs.
He makes fun of them.
5Then the Lord warns them.
He frightens them with his anger.
6He says, “I have appointed my own king!
He will rule in Jerusalem on my holy mountain.”
7Now I will tell you what the Lord has declared:
He said to me, “You are my son.
Today I have become your father.
8If you ask me, I will give you the nations.
All the people on earth will be yours.
9You will make them obey you by punishing them with an iron rod.
You will break them into pieces like pottery.”
10So, kings, be wise.
Rulers, learn this lesson.
11Obey the Lord with great fear.
Be happy, but tremble.
12Show that you are loyal to his son.
Otherwise you will be destroyed.
He can quickly become angry.
But happy are those who trust him for protection.
