Psalm 2

2 Why do the [a]nations [b]rage,
And the people plot a [c]vain thing?
2
The kings of the earth set themselves,
And the rulers take counsel together,
Against the Lord and against His Anointed,[d] saying,
3
“Let us break Their bonds in pieces
And cast away Their cords from us.”

4
He who sits in the heavens shall laugh;
The Lord shall hold them in derision.
5
Then He shall speak to them in His wrath,
And distress them in His deep displeasure:
6
“Yet I have [e]set My King
[f]On My holy hill of Zion.”

7
“I will declare the [g]decree:
The Lord has said to Me,
‘You are My Son,
Today I have begotten You.
8
Ask of Me, and I will give You
The nations for Your inheritance,
And the ends of the earth for Your possession.
9
You shall [h]break them with a rod of iron;
You shall dash them to pieces like a potter’s vessel.’ ”

10
Now therefore, be wise, O kings;
Be instructed, you judges of the earth.
11
Serve the Lord with fear,
And rejoice with trembling.
12
[i]Kiss the Son, lest [j]He be angry,
And you perish in the way,
When His wrath is kindled but a little.
Blessed are all those who put their trust in Him.
