Psalm 2
2
The Reign of the Lord's Anointed
1 #
Acts 4.25,26. Why do the heathen rage,
and the people imagine a vain thing?
2The kings of the earth set themselves,
and the rulers take counsel together,
against the Lord, and against his Anointed, saying,
3Let us break their bands asunder,
and cast away their cords from us.
4He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh:
the Lord shall have them in derision.
5Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath,
and vex them in his sore displeasure.
6Yet have I set my King
upon my holy hill of Zion.
7 #
Acts 13.33; Heb 1.5; 5.5. I will declare the decree:
the Lord hath said unto me, Thou art my Son;
this day have I begotten thee.
8Ask of me,
and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance,
and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.
9 #
Rev 2.26,27; 12.5; 19.15. Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron;
thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel.
10Be wise now therefore, O ye kings:
be instructed, ye judges of the earth.
11Serve the Lord with fear,
and rejoice with trembling.
12Kiss the Son, lest he be angry,
and ye perish from the way,
when his wrath is kindled but a little.
Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.

Psalm 2
2
The Reign of the Lord’s Anointed
1 # Cited Acts 4:25, 26 Why do #[Ps. 46:6]the nations rage#2:1 Or nations noisily assemble
and the peoples plot in vain?
2The kings of the earth set themselves,
and the rulers take counsel together,
against the Lord and against his #Ps. 18:50; 20:6; 45:7; 89:20Anointed, saying,
3“Let us #Jer. 5:5burst their bonds apart
and cast away their cords from us.”
4He who #Ps. 11:4; 29:10; [Isa. 40:22] sits in the heavens #Ps. 37:13; 59:8; Job 22:19; Prov. 1:26laughs;
the Lord holds them in derision.
5Then he will speak to them in his #Rev. 6:16, 17wrath,
and terrify them in his fury, saying,
6“As for me, I have #Prov. 8:23 set my King
on #2 Sam. 5:7; Ps. 110:2 Zion, my #Ps. 3:4; 15:1; 43:3; 99:9holy hill.”
7I will tell of the decree:
The Lord said to me, #Rom. 1:4; Cited Acts 13:33; Heb. 1:5; 5:5“You are my Son;
today I have begotten you.
8Ask of me, and I will make the nations your heritage,
and #[Ps. 72:8; 89:27; Dan. 7:14]the ends of the earth your possession.
9You shall #Ps. 89:23; Job 34:24 break#2:9 Revocalization yields (compare Septuagint) You shall rule them with #Rev. 2:27; 12:5; 19:15 a rod of iron
and dash them in pieces like #Isa. 30:14; Jer. 19:11a potter’s vessel.”
10Now therefore, O kings, be wise;
be warned, O rulers of the earth.

Heb. 12:28 Serve the Lord with #Phil. 2:12 fear,
and #Phil. 4:4rejoice with #Phil. 2:12 trembling.
12 #
1 Sam. 10:1; 1 Kgs. 19:18; [John 5:23] Kiss #Prov. 31:2 the Son,
lest he be angry, and you perish in the way,
for his #ver. 5 wrath is quickly kindled.
#
Ps. 34:8; 84:12; Prov. 16:20; Jer. 17:7; [Ps. 146:5; Isa. 30:18] Blessed are all who take refuge in him.
