Psalms - Chapter 2 - A Conservative Version
- Why do the nations rage, and the peoples meditate vain things (LXX/NT)?
- The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against LORD, and against his anointed, [saying],
- Let us break their bonds apart, and cast away their cords from us.
- He who sits in the heavens will laugh. LORD will have them in derision.
- Then he will speak to them in his wrath, and vex them in his great displeasure.
- Yet I have set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.
- I will tell of the decree. LORD said to me, Thou are my son, this day I have begotten thee.
- Ask of me, and I will give [thee] the nations for thine inheritance, and the outermost parts of the earth for thy possession.
- Thou shall break them with a rod of iron, thou shall dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel.
- Now therefore be wise, O ye kings. Be instructed, ye judges of the earth.
- Serve LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.
- Kiss the son, lest he be angry, and ye perish in the way, for his wrath will soon be kindled. Blessed are all those who take refuge in him.
