| Chapter 2 |
1 |
Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing? |
2 |
The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying, |
3 |
Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us. |
4 |
He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision. |
5 |
Then shall he speak to them in his wrath, and trouble them in his sore displeasure. |
6 |
Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion. |
7 |
I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said to me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee. |
8 |
Ask of me, and I will give thee the heathen for thy inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession. |
9 |
Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel. |
10 |
Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth. |
11 |
Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling. |
12 |
Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him. |
