Psalm 2Coronation of the Son
|
|
|
|
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.
