Psalms 2 — UBES

2Verse 1Wherefore did the heathen rage,
And the nations imagine vain things?
^{Verse 2}The kings of the earth stood up,
And the rulers gathered themselves together,
Against the Lord, and against his Christ;
^{Verse 3}Saying, Let us break through their bonds,
And cast away their yoke from us.^{Verse 4}He that dwells in the heavens shall laugh them to scorn,
And the Lord shall mock them.
^{Verse 5}Then shall he speak to them in his anger,
And trouble them in his fury.
^{Verse 6}But I have been made king by him
On Zion his holy mountain,
^{Verse 7}Declaring the ordinance of the Lord:
The Lord said to me, Thou art my Son, today have I begotten thee.
^{Verse 8}Ask of me, and I will give thee the heathen for thine inheritance,
And the ends of the earth for thy possession.
^{Verse 9}Thou shalt rule them with a rod of iron;
Thou shalt dash them in pieces as a potter’s vessel.^{Verse 10}Now therefore understand, ye kings:
Be instructed, all ye that judge the earth.
^{Verse 11}Serve the Lord with fear,
And rejoice in him with trembling.
^{Verse 12}Accept correction, lest at any time the Lord be angry,
And ye should perish from the righteous way:
Whensoever his wrath shall be suddenly kindled,
Blessed are all they that trust in him.
