| Chapter 2 |
| 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, 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 art my Son; this day have I begotten thee.
|
| 8 | Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and
the uttermost parts 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. |
| 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 from the
way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put
their trust in him. |
