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

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