Psalm 2

Why do the nations rage and the peoples plot in vain?The  

kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together,

against the Lord and against his Anointed, saying,

“Let us burst their bonds apart and cast away their cords from us.”

He who sits in the  

heavens laughs; the  

Lord holds them in de

rision.

Then he will speak to them  

in his wrath, and  

terrify them in his  

fury, 

saying,

“As for  

me, I have  

set my King on  

Zion, my  

holy hill.”“for  

me, I have  

set my King on  

Zion, my  

holy hill.”“for  

me, I have  

set my King on  

Zion, my  

holy hill.”“for  

me, I have  

set my King on  

Zion. my  

holy 

hill.””

I will tell of  

the decree:  

The Lord  

said to me,

“You are my Son; to

day 

 

I have begotten  

you.

Ask of me, and  

I will make the  

nations your  

heritage, and the  

ends of the  

earth 

 

your 

poss

ession.

You shall break them  

with a rod of  

iron and dash them  

into 

pieces

like a  

potter’s 

 

ves

sel.”

Now therefore, O kings, be wise; be warned, O rulers of the

earth. Serve the Lord with fear, and rejoice with trembling.

Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and you perish in the

way, for his wrath is quickly kindled. Blessed are all who take refuge in

him. Take Refuge in  

Him.
