Psalms 2:6-12

6“But as for Me, I have installed 1My King Upon Zion, 2My holy mountain.”

7“I will announce the 3decree of the Lord: He said to Me, ‘You are 4My Son, Today I have fathered You.8Ask it of Me, and 5I will certainly give 6the 7nations as Your inheritance, And the 8ends of the earth as Your possession.9You shall 9 10break them with a 11rod of iron, You shall 12shatter them like 13earthenware.’”

10Now then, you kings, 14use insight; Let yourselves be instructed, you 15judges of the earth.11Serve the Lord with 16 17reverence And rejoice with 18trembling.12 19Kiss 20the Son, that He not be angry and you perish on the way, For 21His wrath may be kindled quickly. How blessed are all who 22take refuge in Him!
