2:1  Why do the nations rage and the peoples plot in vain?
2:2  The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD and against his Anointed, saying,
2:3  “Let us burst their bonds apart and cast away their cords from us.”
2:4  He who sits in the heavens laughs; the Lord holds them in derision.
2:5  Then he will speak to them in his wrath, and terrify them in his fury, saying,
2:6  “As for me, I have set my King on Zion, my holy hill.”
2:7  I will tell of the decree: The LORD said to me, “You are my Son; today I have begotten you.
2:8  Ask of me, and I will make the nations your heritage, and the ends of the earth your possession.
2:9  You shall break them with a rod of iron and dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel.”
2:10  Now therefore, O kings, be wise; be warned, O rulers of the earth.
2:11  Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.
2:12  Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and you perish in the way, for his wrath is quickly kindled. Blessed are all who take refuge in him.
