Psalms
2
- Why do the nations conspire and the peoples
plot in vain?
- The kings of the earth take their stand
and the rulers gather together against the LORD and against his Anointed One.
- "Let us break their chains," they
say, "and throw off their fetters."
- The One enthroned in heaven laughs; the
Lord scoffs at them.
- Then he rebukes them in his anger and terrifies
them in his wrath, saying,
- "I have installed my King on Zion,
my holy hill."
- I will proclaim the decree of the LORD:
He said to me, "You are my Son; today I have become your Father.
- Ask of me, and I will make the nations your
inheritance, the ends of the earth your possession.
- You will rule them with an iron scepter;
you will dash them to pieces like pottery."
- Therefore, you kings, be wise; be warned,
you rulers of the earth.
- Serve the LORD with fear and rejoice with
trembling.
- Kiss the Son, lest he be angry and you be
destroyed in your way, for his wrath can flare up in a moment. Blessed are
all who take refuge in him.
