New American Standard Bible 1995

Psalms 2:7-12

7“I will surely tell of the 1decree of the Lord: He said to Me, ‘You are 2My Son, Today I have begotten You.8Ask of Me, and 3I will surely give 4the 5nations as Your inheritance, And the very 6ends of the earth as Your possession.9You shall 7 8break them with a 9rod of iron, You shall 10shatter them like 11earthenware.’”

10Now therefore, O kings, 12show discernment; Take warning, O 13judges of the earth.11 14Worship the Lord with 15 16reverence And rejoice with 17trembling.12 18Do homage to 19the Son, that He not become angry, and you perish in the way, For 20His wrath may 21soon be kindled. How blessed are all who 22take refuge in Him!
