2:1 Why are the nations in tumultuous agitation, and [why] do the peoples meditate a vain thing? 2:2 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the princes plot together, against Jehovah and against his anointed: 2:3 Let us break their bonds asunder, and cast away their cords from us! 2:4 He that dwelleth in the heavens shall laugh, the Lord shall have them in derision. 2:5 Then will he speak to them in his anger, and in his fierce displeasure will he terrify them: 2:6 And *I* have anointed my king upon Zion, the hill of my holiness. 2:7 I will declare the decree: Jehovah hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; *I* this day have begotten thee. 2:8 Ask of me, and I will give thee nations for an inheritance, and for thy possession the ends of the earth: 2:9 Thou shalt break them with a sceptre of iron, as a potter's vessel thou shalt dash them in pieces. 2:10 And now, O kings, be ye wise, be admonished, ye judges of the earth. 2:11 Serve Jehovah with fear, and rejoice with trembling. 2:12 Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish in the way, though his anger burn but a little. Blessed are all who have their trust in him.
