2:1 Why do the nations rage and the peoples plot in vain 2:2 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD and against his Anointed, saying, 2:3 "Let us burst their bonds apart and cast away their cords from us." 2:4 He who sits in the heavens laughs; the Lord holds them in derision. 2:5 Then he will speak to them in his wrath, and terrify them in his fury, saying, 2:6 "As for me, I have set my King on Zion, my holy hill." 2:7 I will tell of the decree: The LORD said to me, "You are my Son; today I have begotten you. 2:8 Ask of me, and I will make the nations your heritage, and the ends of the earth your possession. 2:9 You shall break them with a rod of iron and dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel." 2:10 Now therefore, O kings, be wise; be warned, O rulers of the earth. 2:11 Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling. 2:12 Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and you perish in the way, for his wrath is quickly kindled. Blessed are all who take refuge in him.
