Psalms 2

1 Why have nations assembled tumultuously? And peoples meditate vanity?

2 Kings of the earth station themselves, and princes have been united together, against YHWH, and against His Messiah:

3 “Let us draw off Their cords, And cast Their thick bands from us.”

4 He who is sitting in the heavens laughs, The Lord mocks at them.

5 Then He speaks to them in His anger, and in His wrath He troubles them:

6 “And I have anointed My King, On Zion—My holy hill.”

7 I declare concerning a statute: YHWH said to me, “You [are] My Son, today I have brought You forth.

8 Ask of Me and I give nations [as] Your inheritance, And the ends of the earth [for] Your possession.

9 You rule them with a scepter of iron, You crush them as a vessel of a potter.”

10 And now, O kings, act wisely, Be instructed, O judges of earth,

11 Serve YHWH with fear, And rejoice with trembling.

12 Kiss the Chosen One [[or Son]], lest He is angry, And you perish [from] the way, When His anger burns but a little, O the blessedness of all trusting in Him!
