Psalms 2 — ASV

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