←Prev   Psalms 2 as rendered by/in  Next→ 


2:1  Why are the nations in tumultuous agitation, and why do the peoples meditate a vain thing?
2:2  The kings of the earth set themselves, and the princes plot together, against Jehovah and against his anointed:
2:3  Let us break their bonds asunder, and cast away their cords from us!
2:4  He that dwelleth in the heavens shall laugh, the Lord shall have them in derision.
2:5  Then will he speak to them in his anger, and in his fierce displeasure will he terrify them:
2:6  And I have anointed my king upon Zion, the hill of my holiness.
2:7  I will declare the decree: Jehovah hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; I this day have begotten thee.
2:8  Ask of me, and I will give thee nations for an inheritance, and for thy possession the ends of the earth:
2:9  Thou shalt break them with a sceptre of iron, as a potter's vessel thou shalt dash them in pieces.
2:10  And now, O kings, be ye wise, be admonished, ye judges of the earth.
2:11  Serve Jehovah with fear, and rejoice with trembling.
2:12  Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish in the way, though his anger burn but a little. Blessed are all who have their trust in him.
