2:1
Why do the nations rage and the peoples plot in vain?
2:2
The kings of the earth take their stand and the rulers gather together, against the LORD and against His Anointed One:
2:3
“Let us break Their chains and cast away Their cords.”
2:4
The One enthroned in heaven laughs; the Lord taunts them.
2:5
Then He rebukes them in His anger, and terrifies them in His fury:
2:6
“I have installed My King on Zion, upon My holy mountain.”
2:7
I will proclaim the decree spoken to Me by the LORD: “You are My Son; today I have become Your Father.
2:8
Ask Me, and I will make the nations Your inheritance, the ends of the earth Your possession.
2:9
You will break them with an iron scepter; You will shatter them like pottery.”
2:10
Therefore be wise, O kings; be admonished, O judges of the earth.
2:11
Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.
2:12
Kiss the Son, lest He be angry and you perish in your rebellion, when His wrath ignites in an instant. Blessed are all who take refuge in Him.
