rsv Psalms:2:1-9 SEEK
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Why do the nations conspire ,
and the peoples plot in vain ?
*
The kings of the earth set themselves ,
and the rulers take counsel together ,
against the LORD and his anointed ,
saying ,
* "
Let us burst their bonds asunder ,
and cast their cords from us ."
*
He who sits in the heavens laughs ;
the LORD has them in derision .
*
Then he will speak to them in his wrath ,
and terrify them in his fury ,
saying ,
* "
I have set my king on Zion ,
my holy hill ."
*
I will tell of the decree of the LORD :
He said to me , "
You are my son ,
today I have begotten you .
*
Ask of me ,
and I will make the nations your heritage ,
and the ends of the earth your possession .
*
You shall break them with a rod of iron ,
and dash them in pieces like a potter '
s vessel ."
