# Chapter 2
|
|
1 Why do the nations rage
|
|
and the peoples plot in vain?
|
|
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 burst their bonds apart
|
|
and cast away their cords from us.”
|
|
4 He who sits in the heavens laughs;
|
|
the Lord holds them in derision.
|
|
5 Then he will speak to them in his wrath,
|
|
and terrify them in his fury, saying,
|
|
6 “As for me, I have set my King
|
|
on Zion, my holy hill.”
|
|
7 I will tell of the decree:
|
|
The Lord said to me, “You are my Son;
|
|
today I have begotten you.
|
|
8 Ask of me, and I will make the nations your heritage,
|
|
and the ends of the earth your possession.
|
|
9 You shall break them with a rod of iron
|
|
and dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel.”
|
|
10 Now therefore, O kings, be wise;
|
|
be warned, O rulers 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,
|
|
for his wrath is quickly kindled.
|
|
Blessed are all who take refuge in him. |
