←Prev   Psalms 2 as rendered by/in  Next→ 



2:1  Why are the nations so shaken up and the people planning foolish things?
2:2  The kings of the earth stand in a line ready to fight, and all the leaders are against the Lord and against His Chosen One.
2:3  They say, “Let us break their chains and throw them away from us.”
2:4  He Who sits in the heavens laughs. The Lord makes fun of them.
2:5  Then He will speak to them in His anger and make them afraid, saying,
2:6  “But as for Me, I have set My King on Zion, My holy mountain.”
2:7  I will make known the words of the Lord. He said to Me, “You are My Son. Today I have become Your Father.
2:8  Ask of Me, and I will give the nations for you to own. The ends of the earth will belong to You.
2:9  You will break them using a piece of iron. And they will be broken in pieces like pots of clay.”
2:10  So, kings, be wise. Listen, you rulers of the earth.
2:11  Serve the Lord with fear, and be full of joy as you shake in fear.
2:12  Kiss the Son. Be afraid that He may be angry and destroy you in the way. For His anger is quick. Happy are all who put their trust in Him.
