| 2:1 | The Messiah's Triumph and Kingdom Why do the nations rage, And the people plot a vain thing? |
| 2:2 | The kings of the earth set themselves, And the rulers take counsel together, Against the LORD and against His Anointed, saying, |
| 2:3 | Let us break Their bonds in pieces And cast away Their cords from us. |
| 2:4 | He who sits in the heavens shall laugh; The LORD shall hold them in derision. |
| 2:5 | Then He shall speak to them in His wrath, And distress them in His deep displeasure: |
| 2:6 | Yet I have set My King On My holy hill of Zion. |
| 2:7 | I will declare the decree: The LORD has said to Me, You are My Son, Today I have begotten You. |
| 2:8 | Ask of Me, and I will give You The nations for Your inheritance, And the ends of the earth for Your possession. |
| 2:9 | You shall break them with a rod of iron; You shall dash them to pieces like a potter's vessel."' |
| 2:10 | Now therefore, be wise, O kings; Be instructed, you judges of the earth. |
| 2:11 | Serve the LORD with fear, And rejoice with trembling. |
| 2:12 | Kiss the Son, lest He be angry, And you perish in the way, When His wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all those who put their trust in Him. |
