Darby Bible Translation

New King James Version

Psalms 2

The Triumphant Messiah

Why are the nations in tumultuous agitation, and [why] do the peoples meditate a vain thing?

The Messiah’s Triumph and Kingdom

Why do the [a]nations [b]rage,
And the people plot a [c]vain thing?

The kings of the earth set themselves, and the princes plot together, against Jehovah and against his anointed:

The kings of the earth set themselves,
And the rulers take counsel together,
Against the Lord and against His Anointed,[d] saying,

Let us break their bonds asunder, and cast away their cords from us!

“Let us break Their bonds in pieces
And cast away Their cords from us.”

He that dwelleth in the heavens shall laugh, the Lord shall have them in derision.

He who sits in the heavens shall laugh;
The Lord shall hold them in derision.

Then will he speak to them in his anger, and in his fierce displeasure will he terrify them:

Then He shall speak to them in His wrath,
And distress them in His deep displeasure:

And *I* have anointed my king upon Zion, the hill of my holiness.

“Yet I have [e]set My King
[f]On My holy hill of Zion.”

I will declare the decree: Jehovah hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; *I* this day have begotten thee.

“I will declare the [g]decree:
The Lord has said to Me,
‘You are My Son,
Today I have begotten You.

Ask of me, and I will give thee nations for an inheritance, and for thy possession the ends of the earth:

Ask of Me, and I will give You
The nations for Your inheritance,
And the ends of the earth for Your possession.

Thou shalt break them with a sceptre of iron, as a potter's vessel thou shalt dash them in pieces.

You shall [h]break them with a rod of iron;
You shall dash them to pieces like a potter’s vessel.’ ”

And now, O kings, be ye wise, be admonished, ye judges of the earth.

Now therefore, be wise, O kings;
Be instructed, you judges of the earth.

Serve Jehovah with fear, and rejoice with trembling.

Serve the Lord 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.

[i]Kiss the Son, lest [j]He be angry,
And you perish in the way,
When His wrath is kindled but a little.
Blessed are all those who put their trust in Him.
