Psalm 2

Home / Psalms / Psalm 2

Ps.2:1 Why do the nations rage, And the people plot a vain thing?
Ps.2:2 The kings of the earth set themselves, And the rulers take counsel together, Against the LORD and against His Anointed, saying,
Ps.2:3 «Let us break Their bonds in pieces And cast away Their cords from us.»
Ps.2:4 He who sits in the heavens shall laugh; The LORD shall hold them in derision.
Ps.2:5 Then He shall speak to them in His wrath, And distress them in His deep displeasure:
Ps.2:6 «Yet I have set My King On My holy hill of Zion.»
Ps.2:7 «I will declare the decree: The LORD has said to Me, «You are My Son, Today I have begotten You.
Ps.2:8 Ask of Me, and I will give You The nations for Your inheritance, And the ends of the earth for Your possession.
Ps.2:9 You shall break them with a rod of iron; You shall dash them to pieces like a potteŕs vessel.»́
Ps.2:10 Now therefore, be wise, O kings; Be instructed, you judges of the earth.
Ps.2:11 Serve the LORD with fear, And rejoice with trembling.
Ps.2:12 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.
