Psalms 2:1-9 ▼

1 Why have nations assembled tumultuously? And peoples meditate vanity?

2 Kings of the earth station themselves, and princes have been united together, against YHWH, and against His Messiah:

3 “Let us draw off Their cords, || And cast Their thick bands from us.”

4 He who is sitting in the heavens laughs, || The Lord mocks at them.

5 Then He speaks to them in His anger, and in His wrath He troubles them:

6 “And I have anointed My King, || On Zion—My holy hill.”

7 I declare concerning a statute: YHWH said to me, “You [are] My Son, today I have brought You forth.

8 Ask of Me and I give nations [as] Your inheritance, || And the ends of the earth [for] Your possession.

9 You rule them with a scepter of iron, || You crush them as a vessel of a potter.”
