2:1 Why are the nations in an uproar And the peoples devising a vain thing? |
2:2 The kings of the earth take their stand And the rulers take counsel together Against the LORD and against His Anointed, saying, |
2:3 "Let us tear their fetters apart And cast away their cords from us!" |
2:4 He who sits in the heavens laughs, The Lord scoffs at them. |
2:5 Then He will speak to them in His anger And terrify them in His fury, saying, |
2:6 "But as for Me, I have installed My King Upon Zion, My holy mountain." |
2:7 "I will surely tell of the decree of the LORD: He said to Me, `You are My Son, Today I have begotten You. |
2:8 `Ask of Me, and I will surely give the nations as Your inheritance, And the {very} ends of the earth as Your possession. |
2:9 `You shall break them with a rod of iron, You shall shatter them like earthenware.'" |
2:10 Now therefore, O kings, show discernment; Take warning, O judges of the earth. |
2:11 Worship the LORD with reverence And rejoice with trembling. |
2:12 Do homage to the Son, that He not become angry, and you perish {in} the way, For His wrath may soon be kindled. How blessed are all who take refuge in Him! |
