←Prev   Psalms 2 as rendered by/in  Next→ 


2:1  Why are the nations in an uproar, and the peoples mutter vanity?
2:2  The kings of earth set themselves up and rulers conspire together against Adonai and against His Anointed One:
2:3  “Let’s rip their chains apart, and throw their ropes off us!”
2:4  He who sits in heaven laughs! Adonai mocks them.
2:5  So He will speak to them in His anger, and terrify them in His fury:
2:6  “I have set up My king upon Zion, My holy mountain.”
2:7  I will declare the decree of Adonai. He said to me: “You are My Son— today I have become Your Father.
2:8  Ask Me, and I will give the nations as Your inheritance, and the far reaches of the earth as Your possession.
2:9  You shall break the nations with an iron scepter. You shall dash them in pieces like a potter’s jar.”
2:10  So now, O kings, be wise, take warning, O judges of the earth!
2:11  Serve Adonai with fear, and rejoice with trembling.
2:12  Kiss the Son, lest He become angry, and you perish along your way— since His wrath may flare up suddenly. Happy is everyone taking refuge in Him!
