Psalms 2:1-9 ▼

1 Why do the nations rebel and the peoples plot in vain?

2 The kings of the earth take their stand, and the rulers conspire together against the LORD and His Anointed One:”

3 Let us tear off their chains and free ourselves from their restraints.”

4 The One enthroned in heaven laughs; the Lord ridicules them.

5 Then He speaks to them in His anger and terrifies them in His wrath:”

6 I have consecrated My King on Zion, My holy mountain.”

7 I will declare the LORD’s decree: He said to Me, “You are My Son; today I have become Your Father.

8 Ask of Me, and I will make the nations Your inheritance and the ends of the earth Your possession.

9 You will break them with a rod of iron; You will shatter them like pottery.”
