Psalms 2

1WhyH4100 do the nationsH1471 rage, And the peoplesH3816 meditateH1897 a vain thing?2The kingsH4428 of the earthH776 set themselves, And the rulersH7336 takeH3320 counsel togetherH3162, Against Jehovah, and against his anointedH4899, saying,3Let us break their bonds asunder, And castH7993 awayH7993 their cordsH5688 from us.4He that sitteth in the heavensH8064 will laughH7832: The LordH136 will have them in derision.5ThenH227 will he speakH1696 unto them in his wrath, And vex them in his sore displeasure:6Yet I have set my kingH4428 Upon my holyH6944 hillH2022 of ZionH6726.7I will tell of the decreeH2706: Jehovah saidH559 unto me, Thou art my sonH1121; This dayH3117 have I begotten thee.8AskH7592 of me, and I will giveH5414theethe nationsH1471 for thine inheritanceH5159, And the uttermost parts of the earthH776 for thy possessionH272.9Thou shalt break them with a rodH7626 of ironH1270; Thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter’sH3335 vesselH3627.10NowH6258 thereforeH6258 be wiseH7919, O ye kingsH4428: Be instructedH3256, ye judgesH8199 of the earthH776.11ServeH5647 Jehovah with fearH3374, And rejoiceH1523 with trembling.12Kiss the son, lestH6435 he be angryH599, and ye perishH6 in the wayH1870, For his wrath will soon be kindled. Blessed are all they that takeH2620 refugeH2620 in him.
