Psalm 2:1–9
The Reign of the Lord’s Anointed.
1 Why are athe 1nations in an uproar
And the peoples bdevising a vain thing?
2 The akings of the earth take their stand
And the rulers take counsel together
bAgainst the Lord and against His 1cAnointed, saying,
3 “Let us atear their fetters apart
And cast away their cords from us!”
4 He who 1sits in the heavens alaughs,
The Lord bscoffs at them.
5 Then He will speak to them in His aanger
And bterrify them in His fury, saying,
6 “But as for Me, I have 1installed aMy King
Upon Zion, bMy holy mountain.”
7 “I will surely tell of the 1decree of the Lord:
He said to Me, ‘You are aMy Son,
Today I have begotten You.
8 ‘Ask of Me, and aI will surely give bthe 1nations as Your inheritance,
And the very cends of the earth as Your possession.
