The Book of Psalms 2

Text size

1 Why do the heathen rage and the people imagine a vain thing ⚑

2 The kings of the earth set themselves and the rulers take counsel together against the LORD and against his anointed saying ⚑

3 Let us break their bands asunder and cast away their cords from us ⚑

4 He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh the Lord shall have them in derision ⚑

5 Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath and vex them in his sore displeasure ⚑

6 Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion ⚑

7 I will declare the decree the LORD hath said unto me Thou art my Son this day have I begotten thee ⚑

8 Ask of me and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession ⚑

9 Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron thou shalt dash them in pieces like a otter’s vessel ⚑

10 Be wise now therefore O ye kings be instructed ye judges of the earth ⚑

11 Serve the LORD with fear and rejoice with trembling ⚑

12 Kiss the Son lest he be angry and ye perish from the way when his wrath is kindled but a little Blessed are all they that put their trust in him ⚑
