Psalms 2

1. (Ps 2:1) Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?
2. (Ps 2:2) The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying,
3. (Ps 2:3) Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.
4. (Ps 2:4) He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the LORD shall have them in derision.
5. (Ps 2:5) Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure.
6. (Ps 2:6) Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.
7. (Ps 2:7) I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee.
8. (Ps 2:8) Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.
9. (Ps 2:9) Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel.
10. (Ps 2:10) Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth.
11. (Ps 2:11) Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.
12. (Ps 2:12) Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.
