Psalm 2
{2:1} Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?
{2:2} The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take
counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed,
[saying,
]{2:3} Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from
us.
{2:4} He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have
them in derision.
{2:5} Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his
sore displeasure.
{2:6} Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.
{2:7} I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou [art]
my Son; this day have I begotten thee.
{2:8} Ask of me, and I shall give [thee] the heathen [for] thine
inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth [for] thy
possession.
{2:9} Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in
pieces like a potter’s vessel.
{2:10} Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of
the earth.
{2:11} Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.
{2:12} Kiss 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.
