Psalm 2 |
| 1 |
Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain
thing? |
| 2 |
The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take
counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed,
saying, |
| 3 |
Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords
from us. |
| 4 |
He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the LORD shall
have them in derision. |
| 5 |
Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in
his sore displeasure. |
| 6 |
Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion. |
| 7 |
I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou
art my Son; this day have I begotten thee. |
| 8 |
Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen 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 |
Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges
of the earth. |
| 11 |
Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling. |
| 12 |
Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way,
when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that
put their trust in him. |
