Psalms 2
1 Why doe the heathen rage, and the people murmure in vaine?
Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?
2 The Kings of the earth band themselues, and the princes are assembled together against the Lord, and against his Christ.
The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying,
3 Let vs breake their bands, and cast their cordes from vs.
Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.
4 But he that dwelleth in the heauen, shall laugh: the Lord shall haue them in derision.
He that sits in the heavens shall laugh: the LORD shall have them in derision.
5 Then shall hee speake vnto them in his wrath, and vexe them in his sore displeasure, saying,
Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure.
6 Euen I haue set my King vpon Zion mine holy mountaine.
Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.
7 I will declare the decree: that is, the Lord hath said vnto me, Thou art my Sonne: this day haue I begotten thee.
I will declare the decree: the LORD has said unto me, You are my Son; this day have I begotten you.
8 Aske of me, and I shall giue thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the endes of the earth for thy possession.
Ask of me, and I shall give you the heathen for your inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for your possession.
9 Thou shalt krush them with a scepter of yron, and breake them in pieces like a potters vessell.
You shall break them with a rod of iron; you shall dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel.
10 Be wise nowe therefore, ye Kings: be learned ye Iudges of the earth.
Be wise now therefore, O all of you kings: be instructed, all of you judges of the earth.
11 Serue the Lord in feare, and reioyce in trembling.
Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.
12 Kisse the sonne, least he be angry, and ye perish in the way, when his wrath shall suddenly burne. blessed are all that trust in him.
Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and all of you perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.
