| Psalms 2: (ASV) |
| 1) Why do the nations rage, And the peoples meditate a vain thing? |
| 2) The kings of the earth set themselves, And the rulers take counsel together, Against Jehovah, and against his anointed, saying, |
| 3) Let us break their bonds asunder, And cast away their cords from us. |
| 4) He that sitteth in the heavens will laugh: The Lord will have them in derision. |
| 5) Then will he speak unto them in his wrath, And vex them in his sore displeasure: |
| 6) Yet I have set my king Upon my holy hill of Zion. |
| 7) I will tell of the decree: Jehovah said unto me, Thou art my son; This day have I begotten thee. |
| 8) Ask of me, and I will give thee the nations for thine inheritance, And the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession. |
| 9) Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; Thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel. |
| 10) Now therefore be wise, O ye kings: Be instructed, ye judges of the earth. |
| 11) Serve Jehovah with fear, And rejoice with trembling. |
| 12) Kiss the son, lest he be angry, and ye perish in the way, For his wrath will soon be kindled. Blessed are all they that take refuge in him. |
