Psalm 2

The Reign of the Lord’s Anointed.

1Why are the #2:1 Or Gentilesnations restless

And the peoples plotting in vain?

2The kings of the earth take their stand

And the rulers conspire together

Against the Lord and against His #2:2 Or MessiahAnointed, saying,

3“Let’s tear their shackles apart

And throw their ropes away from us!”

4¶He who #2:4 Or is enthronedsits in the heavens laughs,

The Lord scoffs at them.

5Then He will speak to them in His anger

And terrify them in His fury, saying,

6“But as for Me, I have installed My King

Upon Zion, My holy mountain.”

7¶“I will announce the #2:7 Or decree: The Lord said to Medecree of the Lord:

He said to Me, ‘You are My Son,

Today I have fathered You.

8‘Ask it of Me, and I will certainly give the #2:8 Or Gentilesnations as Your inheritance,

And the ends of the earth as Your possession.

9‘You shall #2:9 Another reading is rulebreak them with a #2:9 Or scepter; or staffrod of iron,

You shall shatter them like #2:9 Lit potter’s wareearthenware.’ ”

10¶Now then, you kings, use insight;

Let yourselves be instructed, you #2:10 Or leadersjudges of the earth.

11Serve the Lord with #2:11 Or fearreverence

And rejoice with trembling.

12 # 2:12 I.e., probably kiss the feet of the Son Kiss the Son, that He not be angry and you perish on the way,

For His wrath may be kindled quickly.

How blessed are all who take refuge in Him!
