Psalms:2
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Why are the nations in an uproar ?
And why do the peoples mutter in vain ?
*
The kings of the earth stand up ,
and the rulers take counsel together ,
against the LORD ,
and against His anointed :
* '
Let us break their bands asunder ,
and cast away their cords from us .'
*
He that sitteth in heaven laugheth ,
the Lord hath them in derision .
*
Then will He speak unto them in His wrath ,
and affright them in His sore displeasure :
* '
Truly it is I that have established My king upon Zion ,
My holy mountain .'
*
I will tell of the decree :
the LORD said unto me : '
Thou art My son ,
this day have I begotten thee .
*
Ask of Me ,
and I will give the nations for thine inheritance ,
and the ends of the earth for thy possession .
*
Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron ;
thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter '
s vessel .'
*
Now therefore ,
O ye kings ,
be wise ;
be admonished ,
ye judges of the earth .
*
Serve the LORD with fear ,
and rejoice with trembling .
*
Do homage in purity ,
lest He be angry ,
and ye perish in the way ,
when suddenly His wrath is kindled .
Happy are all they that take refuge in Him .
