# Chapter 2
|
||
1 Why do the nations rage,
|
||
And the people plot 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 bonds in pieces
|
||
And cast away Their cords from us.”
|
||
4 He who sits in the heavens shall laugh;
|
||
The Lord shall hold them in derision.
|
||
5 Then He shall speak to them in His wrath,
|
||
And distress them in His deep displeasure:
|
||
6 “Yet I have set My King
|
||
On My holy hill of Zion.”
|
||
7 “I will declare the decree:
|
||
The Lord has said to Me,
|
||
‘You are My Son,
|
||
Today I have begotten You.
|
||
8 Ask of Me, and I will give You
|
||
The nations for Your inheritance,
|
||
And the ends of the earth for Your possession.
|
||
9 You shall break them with a rod of iron;
|
||
You shall dash them to pieces like a potter’s vessel.’ ”
|
||
10 Now therefore, be wise, O kings;
|
||
Be instructed, you judges of the earth.
|
||
11 Serve the Lord with fear,
|
||
And rejoice with trembling.
|
||
12 Kiss the Son, lest He be angry,
|
||
And you perish in the way,
|
||
When His wrath is kindled but a little.
|
||
Blessed are all those who put their trust in Him. |
