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.
