Psalms 2:2-9

2The kings of the earth take their stand; And the rulers take counsel together Against the Lord and His Anointed (the Davidic King, the Messiah, the Christ), saying,

3“Let us break apart their [divine] bands [of restraint] And cast away their cords [of control] from us.”

4He who sits [enthroned] in the heavens laughs [at their rebellion]; The [Sovereign] Lord scoffs at them [and in supreme contempt He mocks them].

5Then He will speak to them in His [profound] anger And terrify them with His displeasure, saying,

6“Yet as for Me, I have anointed and firmly installed My King Upon Zion, My holy mountain.”

7“I will declare the decree of the Lord: He said to Me, ‘You are My Son; This day [I proclaim] I have begotten You.

8Ask of Me, and I will assuredly give [You] the nations as Your inheritance, And the ends of the earth as Your possession.

9You shall break them with a rod of iron; You shall shatter them [in pieces] like earthenware.’ ”
