Psalms 2:8-12

8Ask of Me, and 1I will surely give 2the 3nations as Your inheritance, And the very 4ends of the earth as Your possession.9You shall 56break them with a 7rod of iron, You shall 8shatter them like 9earthenware.’”

10Now therefore, O kings, 10show discernment; Take warning, O 11judges of the earth.1112Worship the Lord with 1314reverence And rejoice with 15trembling.1216Do homage to 17the Son, that He not become angry, and you perish in the way, For 18His wrath may 19soon be kindled. How blessed are all who 20take refuge in Him!
