Chapter 2

1


 

  Why do the nations rage, And the peoples plot a vain thing?  

 

 

-

2


 

  The kings of the earth take a stand, And the rulers take counsel together, Against Yahweh, and against his anointed, saying,  

 

 

-

3


 

  'Let us break their bonds apart, And cast away their cords from us.'  

 

 

-

4


 

  He who sits in the heavens will laugh. The Lord will have them in derision.  

 

 

-

5


 

  Then he will speak to them in his anger, And terrify them in his wrath:  

 

 

-

6


 

  'Yet I have set my king on my holy hill of Zion.'  

 

 

-

7


 

  I will tell of the decree. Yahweh said to me, 'You are my son. Today I have become your father.  

 

 

-

8


 

  Ask of me, and I will give the nations for your inheritance, The uttermost parts of the earth for your possession.  

 

 

-

9


 

  You shall break them with a rod of iron. You shall dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel.'  

 

 

-

10


 

  Now therefore be wise, you kings. Be instructed, you judges of the earth.  

 

 

-

11


 

  Serve Yahweh with fear, And rejoice with trembling.  

 

 

-

12


 

  Kiss the son, lest he be angry, and you perish in the way, For his wrath will soon be kindled. Blessed are all those who take refuge in him. Psalm 3 A Psalm by David, when he fled from Absalom, his son.
