Psalms Chapter 2

American Standard

   1: Why do the nations rage, And the peoples meditate a vain thing?
   2: The kings of the earth set themselves, And the rulers take counsel together, Against Jehovah, and against his anointed, [saying],
   3: Let us break their bonds asunder, And cast away their cords from us.
   4: He that sitteth in the heavens will laugh: The Lord will have them in derision.
   5: Then will he speak unto them in his wrath, And vex them in his sore displeasure:
   6: Yet I have set my king Upon my holy hill of Zion.
   7: I will tell of the decree: Jehovah said unto me, Thou art my son; This day have I begotten thee.
   8: Ask of me, and I will give [thee] the nations 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.
   10: Now therefore be wise, O ye kings: Be instructed, ye judges of the earth.
   11: Serve Jehovah with fear, And rejoice with trembling.
   12: Kiss the son, lest he be angry, and ye perish in the way, For his wrath will soon be kindled. Blessed are all they that take refuge in him.
