Psalms - Chapter 2 | New International Version

  • 1. Why do the nations conspire and the peoples plot in vain?
  • 2. The kings of the earth take their stand and the rulers gather together against the LORD and against his Anointed One.
  • 3. Let us break their chains, they say, "and throw off their fetters."
  • 4. The One enthroned in heaven laughs; the Lord scoffs at them.
  • 5. Then he rebukes them in his anger and terrifies them in his wrath, saying,
  • 6. I have installed my King on Zion, my holy hill.
  • 7. I will proclaim the decree of the LORD: He said to me, "You are my Son; today I have become your Father.
  • 8. Ask of me, and I will make the nations your inheritance, the ends of the earth your possession.
  • 9. You will rule them with an iron scepter; you will dash them to pieces like pottery."
  • 10. Therefore, you kings, be wise; be warned, you rulers of the earth.
  • 11. Serve the LORD with fear and rejoice with trembling.
  • 12. Kiss the Son, lest he be angry and you be destroyed in your way, for his wrath can flare up in a moment. Blessed are all who take refuge in him.
