Psalms 2
1 Why do the nations rage, and the peoples imagine a vain thing?
Why doe the heathen rage, and the people murmure in vaine?
2 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, [saying],
The Kings of the earth band themselues, and the princes are assembled together against the Lord, and against his Christ.
3 Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.
Let vs breake their bands, and cast their cordes from vs.
4 He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision.
But he that dwelleth in the heauen, shall laugh: the Lord shall haue them in derision.
5 Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure:
Then shall hee speake vnto them in his wrath, and vexe them in his sore displeasure, saying,
6 Yet I have set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.
Euen I haue set my King vpon Zion mine holy mountaine.
7 I will tell of the decree: the LORD said unto me, Thou art my son; this day have I begotten thee.
I will declare the decree: that is, the Lord hath said vnto me, Thou art my Sonne: this day haue I begotten thee.
8 Ask of me, and I will give thee the nations for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.
Aske of me, and I shall giue thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the endes of the earth for thy possession.
9 Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel.
Thou shalt krush them with a scepter of yron, and breake them in pieces like a potters vessell.
10 Now therefore be wise, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth.
Be wise nowe therefore, ye Kings: be learned ye Iudges of the earth.
11 Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.
Serue the Lord in feare, and reioyce in trembling.
12 Kiss the son, lest he be angry, and ye perish in the way, for his wrath will soon be kindled. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.
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.
