Psalms:2
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Why are the nations in tumultuous agitation ,
and [
why ]
do the peoples meditate a vain thing ?
*
The kings of the earth set themselves ,
and the princes plot together ,
against Jehovah and against his anointed :
*
Let us break their bonds asunder ,
and cast away their cords from us !
*
He that dwelleth in the heavens shall laugh ,
the Lord shall have them in derision .
*
Then will he speak to them in his anger ,
and in his fierce displeasure will he terrify them :
*
And I have anointed my king upon Zion ,
the hill of my holiness .
*
I will declare the decree :
Jehovah hath said unto me ,
Thou art my Son ;
I this day have begotten thee .
*
Ask of me ,
and I will give thee nations for an inheritance ,
and for thy possession the ends of the earth :
*
Thou shalt break them with a sceptre of iron ,
as a potter '
s vessel thou shalt dash them in pieces .
*
And now ,
O kings ,
be ye wise ,
be admonished ,
ye judges of the earth .
*
Serve Jehovah with fear ,
and rejoice with trembling .
*
Kiss the Son ,
lest he be angry ,
and ye perish in the way ,
though his anger burn but a little .
Blessed are all who have their trust in him .
