Psalms 2

The Triumphant Messiah

Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine 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 rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying,

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 bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.

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

He that sitteth 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 shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure.

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

Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.

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

I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I 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 shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.

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 rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel.

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

Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth.

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

Serve the LORD 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 from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put 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.
