Psalms 2

The Messiah’s Triumph and Kingdom

¹Why do the nations rage, And the people plot a vain thing?

²The kings of the earth set themselves, And the rulers take counsel together, Against the Lord and against His Anointed, saying,

³“Let us break Their bonds in pieces And cast away Their cords from us.”

⁴He who sits in the heavens shall laugh; The Lord shall hold them in derision.

⁵Then He shall speak to them in His wrath, And distress them in His deep displeasure:

⁶“Yet I have set My King On My holy hill of Zion.”

⁷“I will declare the decree: The Lord has said to Me, ‘You are My Son, Today I have begotten You.

⁸Ask of Me, and I will give You The nations for Your inheritance, And the ends of the earth for Your possession.

⁹You shall break them with a rod of iron; You shall dash them to pieces like a potter’s vessel.’ ”

¹⁰Now therefore, be wise, O kings; Be instructed, you judges of the earth.

¹¹Serve the Lord with fear, And rejoice with trembling.

¹²Kiss the Son, lest 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.
