Ps 2
1
Ac 4:25 Wherefore did the heathen rage, and the nations imagine vain things?
2
The kings of the earth stood up, and the rulers gathered themselves together, against
the Lord, and against his Christ;
3
saying, Let us break through their bonds, and cast away their yoke from us.
4
He who dwells in the heavens shall laugh them to scorn, and the Lord shall mock them.
5
Then shall he speak to them in his anger, and trouble them in his fury.
6
But I have been made king by him on Sion his holy mountain,
7
declaring the ordinance of the Lord: the Lord said to me, Ac 13:33; Heb 1:5 You are my Son, to-day have I engendered you.
8
Ask of me, and I will give you the heathen for your inheritance, and the ends of the
earth for your possession.
9
You shall Gr. tend them as a shepherd; Re 2:27 rule them with a rod of iron; you shall dash them in pieces as a potter’s vessel.
10
Now therefore understand, you kings: be instructed, all you that judge the earth.
11
Serve the Lord with fear, and rejoice in him with trembling.
12
Note.—This rendering or a similar one the Jews maintain Accept correction, lest at any time the Lord be angry, and you should
perish from
the righteous way: whenever his anger shall be suddenly kindled, blessed are all they
that trust in him.
