# Chapter 2
|
||
1 Why do the nations rage
|
||
and the peoples plot in vain?
|
||
2 The kings of the earth take their stand,
|
||
and the rulers conspire together
|
||
against the Lord and his Anointed One:
|
||
3 “Let’s tear off their chains
|
||
and throw their ropes off of us.”
|
||
4 The one enthroned in heaven laughs;
|
||
the Lord ridicules them.
|
||
5 Then he speaks to them in his anger
|
||
and terrifies them in his wrath:
|
||
6 “I have installed my king
|
||
on Zion, my holy mountain.”
|
||
7 I will declare the Lord’s decree.
|
||
He said to me, “You are my Son;
|
||
today I have become your Father.
|
||
8 Ask of me,
|
||
and I will make the nations your inheritance
|
||
and the ends of the earth your possession.
|
||
9 You will break them with an iron scepter;
|
||
you will shatter them like pottery.”
|
||
10 So now, kings, be wise;
|
||
receive instruction, you judges of the earth.
|
||
11 Serve the Lord with reverential awe
|
||
and rejoice with trembling.
|
||
12 Pay homage to the Son or he will be angry
|
||
and you will perish in your rebellion,
|
||
for his anger may ignite at any moment.
|
||
All who take refuge in him are happy. |
