Psalm 2
The Triumphant Messiah
verse 1Why do the nations ragea
and the peoples plot in vain?
verse 2The kings of the earth take their stand
and the rulers gather together,
against the LORD
and against His Anointed One:b
verse 3“Let us break Their chains
and cast away Their cords.”
verse 4The One enthroned in heaven laughs;
the Lord taunts them.
verse 5Then He rebukes them in His anger,
and terrifies them in His fury:
verse 6“I have installed My King on Zion,
upon My holy mountain.”
verse 7I will proclaim the decree
spoken to Me by the LORD:
“You are My Son;
today I have become Your Father.c
verse 8Ask Me, and I will make the nations Your inheritance,
the ends of the earth Your possession.
verse 9You will break themd with an iron scepter;
You will shatter them like pottery.e”
verse 10Therefore be wise, O kings;
be admonished, O judges of the earth.
verse 11Serve the LORD with fear,
and rejoice with trembling.
verse 12Kiss the Son, lest He be angry
and you perish in your rebellion,
when His wrath ignites in an instant.
Blessed are all who take refuge in Him.
