Psalms 2
2
1Why have nations tumultuously assembled? And do peoples meditate vanity?
2Station themselves do kings of the earth, And princes have been united together, Against Jehovah, and against His Messiah:
3‘Let us draw off Their cords, And cast from us Their thick bands.’
4He who is sitting in the heavens doth laugh, The Lord doth mock at them.
5Then doth He speak unto them in His anger, And in His wrath He doth trouble them:
6‘And I — I have anointed My King, Upon Zion — My holy hill.’
7I declare concerning a statute: Jehovah said unto me, ‘My Son Thou [art], I to-day have brought thee forth.
8Ask of Me and I give nations — thy inheritance, And thy possession — the ends of earth.
9Thou dost rule them with a sceptre of iron, As a vessel of a potter Thou dost crush them.’
10And now, O kings, act wisely, Be instructed, O judges of earth,
11Serve ye Jehovah with fear, And rejoice with trembling.
12Kiss the Chosen One, lest He be angry, And ye lose the way, When His anger burneth but a little, O the happiness of all trusting in Him!

The Messiah’s Triumph and Kingdom
1Why #Acts 4:25, 26do the nations rage,
And the people plot a vain thing?
2The kings of the earth set themselves,
And the #(Matt. 12:14; 26:3, 4, 59–66; 27:1, 2; Mark 3:6; 11:18)rulers take counsel together,
Against the Lord and against His #(John 1:41)Anointed, saying,
3“Let #Luke 19:14us break Their bonds in pieces
And cast away Their cords from us.”
4He who sits in the heavens #Ps. 37:13shall laugh;
The Lord shall hold them in derision.
5Then He shall speak to them in His wrath,
And distress them in His deep displeasure:
6“Yet I have set My King
On My holy hill of Zion.”
7“I will declare the decree:
The Lord has said to Me,
#Matt. 3:17; Mark 1:1, 11; Luke 3:22; John 1:18; Acts 13:33; (Heb. 1:5; 5:5)‘You are My Son,
Today I have begotten You.
8Ask of Me, and I will give You
The nations for Your inheritance,
And the ends of the earth for Your possession.
9#Ps. 89:23; 110:5, 6; (Rev. 2:26, 27; 12:5; 19:15)You shall break them with a rod of iron;
You shall dash them to pieces like a potter’s vessel.’ ”
10Now therefore, be wise, O kings;
Be instructed, you judges of the earth.
11Serve the Lord with fear,
And rejoice with trembling.
12 Kiss the Son, lest He be angry,
And you perish in the way,
When #(Rev. 6:16, 17)His wrath is kindled but a little.
#(Ps. 5:11; 34:22)Blessed are all those who put their trust in Him.
