Psalms - Chapter 2 | King James Version (KJV)

  • 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, {cf15I 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 unto them in his wrath, and vex 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 unto me, Thou {cf15I art} my Son; this day have I begotten thee.
  • 8. Ask of me, and I shall give {cf15I thee} the heathen {cf15I for} thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth {cf15I 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 {cf15I from} the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed {cf15I are} all they that put their trust in him.
