Psalms 2

2
Psalm 2
1Why do the nations gather together?
Why do their people devise useless plots?
2Kings take their stands.
Rulers make plans together
against the Lord and against his Messiah  #2:2 Or “anointed one.” by saying,
3“Let’s break apart their chains
and shake off their ropes.”
4The one enthroned in heaven laughs.
The Lord makes fun of them.
5Then he speaks to them in his anger.
In his burning anger he terrifies them by saying,
6“I have installed my own king on Zion, my holy mountain.”
7I will announce the Lord’s decree.
He said to me:
“You are my Son.
Today I have become your Father.
8Ask me, and I will give you the nations as your inheritance
and the ends of the earth as your own possession.
9You will break them with an iron scepter.
You will smash them to pieces like pottery.”
10Now, you kings, act wisely.
Be warned, you rulers of the earth!
11Serve the Lord with fear, and rejoice with trembling.
12Kiss the Son, or he will become angry
and you will die on your way
because his anger will burst into flames.
Blessed is everyone who takes refuge in him.
