Psalms 2
2
The Messiah’s Reign
1Why are nations in tumult,
and countries plotting#Or “muttering” in vain?#Or “an empty thing”
2The kings of the earth establish themselves,
and the rulers conspire#Or “make themselves firm” together
against Yahweh and his anointed:
3“Let us tear off their bonds,
and cast their cords from us!”
4He who sits enthroned in the heavens laughs.
The Lord derides them.
5Then he speaks to them in his wrath,
and in his fury he terrifies them:
6“But as for me, I have set my king
on Zion, my holy mountain.”
7I will tell the decree;
Yahweh said to me:
“You are my son;
today I have begotten you.
8Ask from me and I will make the nations your heritage,
and your possession the ends of the earth.
9You will break them with an iron rod.
Like a potter’s vessel you will shatter them.”
10So then, O kings, be wise.
Be warned, O rulers of the earth.
11Serve Yahweh with fear,
and rejoice with trembling.
12Kiss the Son
lest he be angry and you perish on the way,
for his anger burns quickly.
Blessed are all who take refuge in him.

Psalms 2
2
PSALM 2.
Quare fremuerunt.
The vain efforts of persecutors against Christ and his church.
1Why have the Gentiles raged and the people devised vain things?
2The kings of the earth stood up, and the princes met together, against the Lord and against his Christ.
3Let us break their bonds asunder: and let us cast away their yoke from us.
4He that dwelleth in heaven shall laugh at them: and the Lord shall deride them.
5Then shall he speak to them in his anger, and trouble them in his rage.
6But I am appointed king by him over Sion his holy mountain, preaching his commandment.
7The Lord hath said to me: Thou art my son, this day have I begotten thee.
8Ask of me, and I will give thee the Gentiles for thy inheritance, and the utmost parts of the earth for thy possession.
9Thou shalt rule them with a rod of iron, and shalt break them in pieces like a potter's vessel.
10And now, O ye kings, understand: receive instruction, you that judge the earth.
11Serve ye the Lord with fear: and rejoice unto him with trembling.
12Embrace discipline, lest at any time the Lord be angry, and you perish from the just way:
13When his wrath shall be kindled in a short time, blessed are all they that trust in him.
