Psalms 2
1 Why doe the heathen rage, and the people murmure in vaine?
Why do the nations rage and the peoples plot in vain?
2 The Kings of the earth band themselues, and the princes are assembled together against the Lord, and against his Christ.
The kings of the earth take their stand and the rulers gather together, against the LORD and against His Anointed One:
3 Let vs breake their bands, and cast their cordes from vs.
“Let us break Their chains and cast away Their cords.”
4 But he that dwelleth in the heauen, shall laugh: the Lord shall haue them in derision.
The One enthroned in heaven laughs; the Lord taunts them.
5 Then shall hee speake vnto them in his wrath, and vexe them in his sore displeasure, saying,
Then He rebukes them in His anger, and terrifies them in His fury:
6 Euen I haue set my King vpon Zion mine holy mountaine.
“I have installed My King on Zion, upon My holy mountain.”
7 I will declare the decree: that is, the Lord hath said vnto me, Thou art my Sonne: this day haue I begotten thee.
I will proclaim the decree spoken to Me by the LORD: “You are My Son; today I have become Your Father.
8 Aske of me, and I shall giue thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the endes of the earth for thy possession.
Ask Me, and I will make the nations Your inheritance, the ends of the earth Your possession.
9 Thou shalt krush them with a scepter of yron, and breake them in pieces like a potters vessell.
You will break them with an iron scepter; You will shatter them like pottery.”
10 Be wise nowe therefore, ye Kings: be learned ye Iudges of the earth.
Therefore be wise, O kings; be admonished, O judges of the earth.
11 Serue the Lord in feare, and reioyce in trembling.
Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.
12 Kisse the sonne, least he be angry, and ye perish in the way, when his wrath shall suddenly burne. blessed are all that trust in him.
Kiss 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.
