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