Psalms 2

The Messiah’s Triumph and Kingdom

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

Why are the nations so angry?
Why do they waste their time with futile plans?

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

The kings of the earth prepare for battle;
the rulers plot together
against the LORD
and against his anointed one.

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

“Let us break their chains,” they cry,
“and free ourselves from slavery to God.”

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

But the one who rules in heaven laughs.
The Lord scoffs at them.

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

Then in anger he rebukes them,
terrifying them with his fierce fury.

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

For the Lord declares, “I have placed my chosen king on the throne
in Jerusalem,a on my holy mountain.”

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

The king proclaims the LORD’s decree:
“The LORD said to me, ‘You are my son.b
Today I have become your Father.c

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

Only ask, and I will give you the nations as your inheritance,
the whole earth as your possession.

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

You will breakd them with an iron rod
and smash them like clay pots.’”

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

Now then, you kings, act wisely!
Be warned, you rulers of the earth!

Serve the Lord with fear,
And rejoice with trembling.

Serve the LORD with reverent fear,
and rejoice with trembling.

[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.

Submit to God’s royal son,e or he will become angry,
and you will be destroyed in the midst of all your activities —
for his anger flares up in an instant.
But what joy for all who take refuge in him!
