Psalms 2:7-12

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

10Now then, you kings, 12use insight; Let yourselves be instructed, you 13judges of the earth.11Serve the Lord with 14 15reverence And rejoice with 16trembling.12 17Kiss 18the Son, that He not be angry and you perish on the way, For 19His wrath may be kindled quickly. How blessed are all who 20take refuge in Him!
