1.3 KiB
1.3 KiB
Psalm 2
- Why do the nations rage and the peoples plot in vain?
- The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD and against his Anointed, saying,
- “Let us burst their bonds apart and cast away their cords from us.”
- He who sits in the heavens laughs; the Lord holds them in derision.
- Then he will speak to them in his wrath, and terrify them in his fury, saying,
- “As for me, I have set my King on Zion, my holy hill.”
- I will tell of the decree: The LORD said to me, “You are my Son; today I have begotten you.
- Ask of me, and I will make the nations your heritage, and the ends of the earth your possession.
- You shall break them with a rod of iron and dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel.”
- Now therefore, O kings, be wise; be warned, O rulers of the earth.
- Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.
- 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.
