NRSV Psalms 2 Chapter
2:1
Why do the nations conspire, 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 his anointed, saying,
2:3
"Let us burst their bonds asunder, and cast their cords from us."
2:4
He who sits in the heavens laughs; the LORD has them in derision.
2:5
Then he will speak to them in his wrath, and terrify them in his fury, saying,
2:6
"I have set my king on Zion, my holy hill."
2:7
I will tell of the decree of the LORD: He 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, with trembling
2:12
kiss his feet, or he will be angry, and you will perish in the way; for his wrath is quickly kindled. Happy are all who take refuge in him.
