Psalms (WEB) - Psalm 2

1: Why do the nations rage, and the peoples plot a vain thing?
2: The kings of the earth take a stand, and the rulers take counsel together, against Yahweh, and against his Anointed, {The word "Anointed" is the same as the word for "Messiah" or "Christ"} saying,
3: "Let's break their bonds apart, and cast their cords from us."
4: He who sits in the heavens will laugh. The Lord will have them in derision.
5: Then he will speak to them in his anger, and terrify them in his wrath:
6: "Yet I have set my king on my holy hill of Zion."
7: I will tell of the decree. Yahweh said to me, "You are my son. Today I have become your father.
8: Ask of me, and I will give the nations for your inheritance, the uttermost parts of the earth for your possession.
9: You shall break them with a rod of iron. You shall dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel."
10: Now therefore be wise, you kings. Be instructed, you judges of the earth.
11: Serve Yahweh with fear, and rejoice with trembling.
12: Give sincere homage {or, Kiss the son}, lest he be angry, and you perish in the way, for his wrath will soon be kindled. Blessed are all those who take refuge in him.
