Psalms 2

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

The Triumphant Messiah

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

Serve Jehovah with fear, and rejoice with trembling.

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!

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.
