psalms 2
1 - Why do the nations rage,and the peoples plot a vain thing?
2 - The kings of the earth take a stand,and the rulers take counsel together,against The LORD, and against his Anointed, saying,
3 - "Let's break their bonds apart,and cast their cords from us."
4 - He who sits in the heavens will laugh.The Lord will have them in derision.
5 - Then he will speak to them in his anger,and terrify them in his wrath:
6 - "Yet I have set my King on my holy hill of Zion."
7 - I will tell of the decree.The LORD said to me, "You are my son.Today I have become your father.
8 - Ask of me, and I will give the nations for your inheritance,the uttermost parts of the earth for your possession.
9 - You shall break them with a rod of iron.You shall dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel."
10 - Now therefore be wise, you kings.Be instructed, you judges of the earth.
11 - Serve the LORD with fear,and rejoice with trembling.
12 - Give sincere homage to the Son, lest he be angry, and you perish on the way,for his wrath will soon be kindled.Blessed are all those who take refuge in him.
