Chapter 2 | |
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,
saying,
|
3 | Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us. |
4 | He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the LORD shall have them in derision. |
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.
|
8 | Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession. |
9 |
Thou shalt
break 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, 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. |
