| Chapter 2
|
1 | Why do the
heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing? |
2 | The 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 bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.
|
4 | He that sitteth
in the heavens shall laugh: the LORD shall have them in derision. |
5 | Then shall he speak unto
them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure. |
6 | Yet have I set my king upon my holy
hill of Zion. |
7 | I
will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day
have I begotten thee. |
8 |
Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and
the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession. |
9 | Thou shalt break them with a rod of
iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel. |
10 | Be wise now therefore, O ye
kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth. |
11 | Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with
trembling. |
12 |
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. |
