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