Psalms 2:8-12 ▼

8 ‘Ask of Me, and I will assuredly give [You] the nations as Your inheritance, And the ends of the earth as Your possession.

9 ‘You shall break them with a rod of iron; You shall shatter them [in pieces] like earthenware.’”

10 Now therefore, O kings, act wisely; Be instructed and take warning, O leaders (judges, rulers) of the earth.

11 Worship the LORD and serve Him with reverence [with awe-inspired fear and submissive wonder]; Rejoice [yet do so] with trembling.

12 Kiss (pay respect to) the Son, so that He does not become angry, and you perish in the way, For His wrath may soon be kindled and set aflame. How blessed [fortunate, prosperous, and favored by God] are all those who take refuge in Him!
