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 nations rage,
and the peoples plot in vain?
2#Ps 63:1; 84:2 The kings of the earth set themselves,
and the rulers take counsel together,
against the Lord
and against His anointed, saying,
3#Ps 79:10; 80:5 “Let us tear off their bonds
and cast away their ropes from us.”
4#Isa 30:29; Ps 62:8 He who sits in the heavens laughs;
the Lord ridicules them.
5#Ps 42:11; 43:5 Then He will speak to them in His wrath
and terrify them in His burning anger:
6#2Sa 17:22; Dt 3:8–9 “I have installed My king
on Zion, My holy hill.”
7#Ps 88:7; Jnh 2:3I will declare the decree of the Lord:
He said to me, “You are My son;
this day have I begotten you.
8#Job 35:10; Ps 63:6 Ask of Me,
and I will give you the nations for your inheritance,
and the ends of the earth for your possession.
9#Ps 38:6; 18:2 You will break them with a scepter of iron;
you will dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel.”
10#Ps 42:3; Joel 2:17 Now then, you kings, be wise;
be admonished, you judges of the earth.
11#Ps 42:5; 43:5 Serve the Lord with fear;
tremble with trepidation!
12Kiss the son, lest He become angry,
and you perish in the way,
for His wrath kindles in a flash.
Blessed are all who seek refuge in Him.
