Psalm 2

The Reign of Yahweh’s Anointed

1Why do the #2:1 Or Gentilesnations rage

And the peoples meditate on a vain thing?

2The kings of the earth take their stand

And the rulers take counsel together

Against Yahweh and against His #2:2 Or MessiahAnointed, saying,

3“Let us tear their fetters apart

And cast away their cords from us!”

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

The Lord mocks them.

5Then He speaks to them in His anger

And terrifies them in His fury, saying,

6“But as for Me, I have #2:6 Or consecratedinstalled My King

Upon Zion, My holy mountain.”

7¶“I will surely tell of the #2:7 Or decree: Yahweh said to Medecree of Yahweh:

He said to Me, ‘You are My Son,

Today I have begotten You.

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

And the ends of the earth as Your possession.

9‘You shall #2:9 Or rulebreak them with a #2:9 Or scepter, staffrod of iron,

You shall shatter them like a potter’s vessel.’ ”

10¶So now, O kings, show insight;

Take warning, O #2:10 Or leadersjudges of the earth.

11Serve Yahweh with fear

And rejoice with trembling.

12 # 2:12 Some ancient versions Do homage purely, Lay hold of instruction Kiss the Son, lest He become angry, and you perish in the way,

For His #2:12 Or anger, cf. 2:5wrath may #2:12 Or quickly, easilysoon be kindled.

How blessed are all who take refuge in Him!
