Psalm 2
English translation got from website: https://www.chabad.org/library/bible_cdo
- Why have nations gathered and [why do] kingdoms think vain things?
- Kings of a land stand up, and nobles take counsel together against the Lord and against His anointed?
- « Let us break their bands and cast off their cords from us. »
- He Who dwells in Heaven laughs; the Lord mocks them.
- Then He speaks to them in His wrath; and He frightens them with His sore displeasure.
- « But I have enthroned My king on Zion, My holy mount. »
- I will tell of the decree; The Lord said to me, « You are My son; this day have I begotten you.
- Request of Me, and I will make nations your inheritance, and the ends of the earth your possession.
- You shall break them with an iron rod; like a potter’s vessel you shall shatter them. »
- And now, [you] kings, be wise; be admonished, [you] judges of the earth.
- Serve the Lord with fear, and rejoice with quaking.
- Arm yourselves with purity lest He become angry and you perish in the way, for in a moment His wrath will be kindled; the praises of all who take refuge in Him.
