1Psalm 2 A Psalm for a Royal Coronation - Why do the nations protest and the peoples conspire in vain?
2Kings on earth rise up and princes plot together against the LORD and against his anointed one:
3“Let us break their shackles and cast off their chains from us!”
4The one enthroned in heaven laughs; the Lord derides them,
5Then he speaks to them in his anger, in his wrath he terrifies them:
6“I myself have installed my king on Zion, my holy mountain.”
7I will proclaim the decree of the LORD, he said to me, “You are my son; today I have begotten you.
8Ask it of me, and I will give you the nations as your inheritance, and, as your possession, the ends of the earth.
9With an iron rod you will shepherd them, like a potter’s vessel you will shatter them.”
10And now, kings, give heed; take warning, judges on earth.
11Serve the LORD with fear; exult with trembling, Accept correction lest he become angry and you perish along the way when his anger suddenly blazes up. Blessed are all who take refuge in him!
