2:1  Why do the nations rage,
And the people plot a vain thing?

2:2  The kings of the earth set themselves,
And the rulers take counsel together,
Against the LORD and against His Anointed, saying,

2:3  “Let us break Their bonds in pieces
And cast away Their cords from us.”

2:4  He who sits in the heavens shall laugh;
The Lord shall hold them in derision.

2:5  Then He shall speak to them in His wrath,
And distress them in His deep displeasure:

2:6  “Yet I have set My King
On My holy hill of Zion.”

2:7  “I will declare the decree:
The LORD has said to Me,
‘You are My Son,
Today I have begotten You.

2:8  Ask of Me, and I will give You
The nations for Your inheritance,
And the ends of the earth for Your possession.

2:9  You shall break them with a rod of iron;
You shall dash them to pieces like a potter’s vessel.’”

2:10  Now therefore, be wise, O kings;
Be instructed, you judges of the earth.

2:11  Serve the LORD with fear,
And rejoice with trembling.

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.
