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