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
Coronation of the Son
1Why # Ac 4:25-26 do the nations rebel # Or conspire, or rage # Is 17:12-13
and the peoples plot in vain? # Ps 83:2-3
2The kings of the earth take their stand, # Jr 49:19; 50:44
and the rulers conspire together
against the Lord and His Anointed One: # Or anointed one # 1Sm 2:10; 12:3,5; 2Sm 22:51; Ps 18:50; 20:6; 28:8
3“Let us tear off their chains
and free ourselves from their restraints.” # Lit and throw their ropes from us # Is 58:6; Jr 5:5; Nah 1:13
4The One enthroned # Lit who sits in heaven laughs;
the Lord ridicules them. # Ps 37:13; 59:8
5Then He speaks to them in His anger
and terrifies them in His wrath: # Ps 90:7
6“I have consecrated My King # Or king
on Zion, My holy mountain.” # Ps 48:2; Is 24:23
7I will declare the Lord’s decree:
He said to Me, “You are My Son; # Or me, “You are My son
today I have become Your # Or your Father. # Mt 3:17; Lk 3:22; Ac 13:33; Heb 1:5; 5:5
8Ask of Me,
and I will make the nations Your # Or your inheritance
and the ends of the earth Your # Or your possession. # Jos 23:4; Ps 111:6
9You will break # LXX, Syr, Tg read shepherd them with a rod of iron;
You # Or you will shatter them like pottery.” # Lit a potter’s vessel # Ps 89:23; Rv 2:26-27; 12:5; 19:15
10So now, kings, be wise;
receive instruction, you judges of the earth.
11Serve the Lord with reverential awe
and rejoice with trembling. # Heb 12:28
12Pay homage to # Lit Kiss the Son or He # Or son, otherwise he will be angry
and you will perish in your rebellion, # Lit perish way # Jn 3:18
for His # Or his anger may ignite at any moment. # 2Th 1:7-8
All those who take refuge in Him # Or him are happy. # Ps 5:11; 34:8,22
