Psalm 2

Select Translation

1 Wherefore did the heathen rage, And the nations imagine vain things?
2 The kings of the earth stood up, And the rulers gathered themselves together, Against the Lord, and against his Christ;
3 Saying, Let us break through their bonds, And cast away their yoke from us.
4 He that dwells in the heavens shall laugh them to scorn, And the Lord shall mock them.
5 Then shall he speak to them in his anger, And trouble them in his fury.
6 But I have been made king by him On Zion his holy mountain,
7 Declaring the ordinance of the Lord: The Lord said to me, Thou art my Son, today have I begotten thee.
8 Ask of me, and I will give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, And the ends of the earth for thy possession.
9 Thou shalt rule them with a rod of iron; Thou shalt dash them in pieces as a potter’s vessel.
10 Now therefore understand, ye kings: Be instructed, all ye that judge the earth.
11 Serve the Lord with fear, And rejoice in him with trembling.
12 Accept correction, lest at any time the Lord be angry, And ye should perish from the righteous way: Whensoever his wrath shall be suddenly kindled, Blessed are all they that trust in him.
