Psalms Chapter 2

World English Bible

   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 Yahweh, and against his anointed, saying,
   3: "Let's break their bonds apart, And cast away 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. Yahweh 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 Yahweh with fear, And rejoice with trembling.
   12: Kiss the son, lest he be angry, and you perish in the way, For his wrath will soon be kindled. Blessed are all those who take refuge in him.
