Psalms 2

¹Why do the nations plan rebellion? Why do people make their useless plots?

²Their kings revolt, their rulers plot together against the LORD and against the king he chose.

³"Let us free ourselves from their rule,"they say; "let us throw off their control."

⁴From his throne in heaven the Lord laughs and mocks their feeble plans.

⁵Then he warns them in anger and terrifies them with his fury.

⁶"On Zion, my sacred hill,"he says, "I have installed my king."

⁷"I will announce,"says the king, "what the LORD has declared. He said to me: 'You are my son; today I have become your father.

⁸Ask, and I will give you all the nations; the whole earth will be yours.

⁹You will break them with an iron rod; you will shatter them in pieces like a clay pot.' "

¹⁰Now listen to this warning, you kings; learn this lesson, you rulers of the world:

¹¹Serve the LORD with fear; tremble

¹²and bow down to him; or else his anger will be quickly aroused, and you will suddenly die. Happy are all who go to him for protection.
