Psalms 2

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.

Tehillim (Psa) 2
2
1Why are the nations in an uproar,
the peoples grumbling in vain?
2The earth’s kings are taking positions,
leaders conspiring together,
against Adonai
and his anointed.
3They cry, “Let’s break their fetters!
Let’s throw off their chains!”
4He who sits in heaven laughs;
Adonai looks at them in derision.
5Then in his anger he rebukes them,
terrifies them in his fury.
6“I myself have installed my king
on Tziyon, my holy mountain.”
7“I will proclaim the decree:
Adonai said to me,
‘You are my son;
today I became your father.
8Ask of me, and I will make
the nations your inheritance;
the whole wide world
will be your possession.
9You will break them with an iron rod,
shatter them like a clay pot.’”
10Therefore, kings, be wise;
be warned, you judges of the earth.
11Serve Adonai with fear;
rejoice, but with trembling.
12Kiss the son, lest he be angry,
and you perish along the way,
when suddenly his anger blazes.
How blessed are all who take refuge in him.
