Psalm 2
The Reign of the LORD's Anointed |
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, Acts
4.25, 26 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:
|
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; Rev.
2.26, 27 ; 12.5 ; 19.15
|
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. |
