Psalms 2
1+ 2:1 Acts 4:25 Therefore did the heathen rage, and the nations imagine vain things? 1
2The kings of the earth stood up, and the rulers gathered themselves together, against the Lord, and against his Christ; 1
3saying, Let us break through their bonds, and cast away their yoke from us. 1
4He that dwells in the heavens shall laugh them to scorn, and the Lord shall mock them. 1
5Then shall he speak to them in his anger, and trouble them in his fury. 1
6But I have been made king by him on Sion his holy mountain, 1
7declaring the ordinance of the Lord: the Lord said to me, + 2:7 Acts 13:33; Heb 1:5 You are my Son, today have I begotten you. 1
8Ask of me, and I will give you the heathen for your inheritance, and the ends of the earth for your possession. 1
9You shall + 2:9 Gr. tend them as a shepherd. Rev. 2:27. rule them with a rod of iron; you shall dash them in pieces as a potter's vessel. 1
10Now therefore understand, you⌃ kings: be instructed, all you⌃ that judge the earth. 1
11Serve the Lord with fear, and rejoice in him with trembling. 1
12+ 2:12 Note. - This rendering or a similar one the Jews maintain. Accept correction, lest at any time the Lord be angry, and you⌃ should perish from the righteous way: whenever his wrath shall be suddenly kindled, blessed are all they that trust in him.
