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.

Psalms 2
2
1Why do the nations rage,
and the peoples plot in vain?
2#Ps 63:1; 84:2 The kings of the earth set themselves,
and the rulers take counsel together,
against the Lord
and against His anointed, saying,
3#Ps 79:10; 80:5 “Let us tear off their bonds
and cast away their ropes from us.”
4#Isa 30:29; Ps 62:8 He who sits in the heavens laughs;
the Lord ridicules them.
5#Ps 42:11; 43:5 Then He will speak to them in His wrath
and terrify them in His burning anger:
6#2Sa 17:22; Dt 3:8–9 “I have installed My king
on Zion, My holy hill.”
7#Ps 88:7; Jnh 2:3I will declare the decree of the Lord:
He said to me, “You are My son;
this day have I begotten you.
8#Job 35:10; Ps 63:6 Ask of Me,
and I will give you the nations for your inheritance,
and the ends of the earth for your possession.
9#Ps 38:6; 18:2 You will break them with a scepter of iron;
you will dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel.”
10#Ps 42:3; Joel 2:17 Now then, you kings, be wise;
be admonished, you judges of the earth.
11#Ps 42:5; 43:5 Serve the Lord with fear;
tremble with trepidation!
12Kiss the son, lest He become angry,
and you perish in the way,
for His wrath kindles in a flash.
Blessed are all who seek refuge in Him.
