PSALM 2
Common Meter: 8,6,8,6
1Why rage the heathen?
and vain things why do the people mind?
2Kings of the earth do set themselves,
and princes are combin'd,
To plot against the Lord, and his
Anointed, saying thus,
3Let us asunder break their bands,
and cast their cords from us.
4He that in heaven sits shall laugh;
the Lord shall scorn them all.
5Then shall he speak to them in wrath,
in rage he vex them shall.
6Yet, notwithstanding,
I have him to be my King appointed;
And over Sion, my holy hill,
I have him King anointed.
7The sure decree I will declare:
The Lord hath said to me,
Thou art mine only Son;
this day I have begotten thee.
8Ask of me, and for heritage
the heathen I'll make thine;
And, for possession, I to thee
will give earth's utmost line.
9Thou shalt, as with a weighty rod
of iron, break them all;
And, as a potter's sherd, thou shalt
them dash in pieces small.
10Now therefore, kings, be wise;
be taught, ye judges of the earth:
11Serve God in fear, and see that
ye join trembling with your mirth.
12Kiss ye the Son, lest in his ire
ye perish from the way,
If once his wrath begin to burn:
bless'd all that on him stay.

Psalms 2
2
1Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?
2The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord-Yehōvah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate], and against his anointed, [saying],
3Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.
4He that sits in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord-Adonai (The Father) [Greatest Above All Things] shall have them in ridicule (laughing at enemies’ threats).
5Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure.
6Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Tziyon [Parched Place].
7I will declare the decree: the Lord-Yehōvah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate] has said unto me, youi [are] my Son; this day have I begotten youi.
8Ask of me, and I shall give [youi] the heathen [for] youri inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth [for] youri possession.
9youi shall break them with a rod of Yir’on [fearing]; youi shall dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel.
10Be wise now therefore, O you2f kings: be instructed, you2f of the earth.
11Serve the Lord-Yehōvah [Messiah Pre-Incarnate] with fear, and rejoice with trembling.
12Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and you2f perish [from] the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed (Favored by God; happy; prosperous) [are] all they that put their trust in him.
