Psalms - Chapter 2 | English Standard Version

  • 1. Why do the nations rage and the peoples plot in vain?
  • 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 burst their bonds apart and cast away their cords from us."
  • 4. He who sits in the heavens laughs; the Lord holds them in derision.
  • 5. Then he will speak to them in his wrath, and terrify them in his fury, saying,
  • 6. "As for me, I have set my King on Zion, my holy hill."
  • 7. I will tell of the decree: The LORD said to me, "You are my Son; today I have begotten you.
  • 8. Ask of me, and I will make the nations your heritage, and the ends of the earth your possession.
  • 9. You shall break them with a rod of iron and dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel."
  • 10. Now therefore, O kings, be wise; be warned, O rulers of the earth.
  • 11. Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.
  • 12. Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and you perish in the way, for his wrath is quickly kindled. Blessed are all who take refuge in him.
