2:1 Why do the nations become embroiled in an uproar And the peoples devise 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, 'I acknowledge You as 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 He may soon kindle His wrath. He blesses those who take refuge in Him! |
