Psalms 2
Berean Standard Bible · 12 verses
- Why do the nations rage and the peoples plot in vain?
- The kings of the earth take their stand and the rulers gather together, against the LORD and against His Anointed One:
- “Let us break Their chains and cast away Their cords.”
- The One enthroned in heaven laughs; the Lord taunts them.
- Then He rebukes them in His anger, and terrifies them in His fury:
- “I have installed My King on Zion, upon My holy mountain.”
- I will proclaim the decree spoken to Me by the LORD: “You are My Son; today I have become Your Father.
- Ask Me, and I will make the nations Your inheritance, the ends of the earth Your possession.
- You will break them with an iron scepter; You will shatter them like pottery.”
- Therefore be wise, O kings; be admonished, O judges of the earth.
- Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.
- Kiss the Son, lest He be angry and you perish in your rebellion, when His wrath ignites in an instant. Blessed are all who take refuge in Him.
