Psalm 2
The reign of God's annointed.
1047 B.C.[1]


1 Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?

2 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed[2], saying,

3 Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us[3].

4 He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision[4].

5 Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure.

6 Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.

7 I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee[5].

8 Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession[6].

9 Thou shalt break[7] them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel.

10 Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth.

11 Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.

12 Kiss the Son[8], lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him[9].
