engLXXup: Psalms 2

=> Chapters

[1] Wherefore did the heathen rage,

And the nations imagine vain things?

[2] The kings of the earth stood up,

And the rulers gathered themselves together,

Against the Lord, and against his Christ;

[3] Saying, Let us break through their bonds,

And cast away their yoke from us.

[4] He that dwells in the heavens shall laugh them to scorn,

And the Lord shall mock them.

[5] Then shall he speak to them in his anger,

And trouble them in his fury.

[6] But I have been made king by him

On Zion his holy mountain,

[7] Declaring the ordinance of the Lord:

The Lord said to me, Thou art my Son, today have I begotten thee.

[8] Ask of me, and I will give thee the heathen for thine inheritance,

And the ends of the earth for thy possession.

[9] Thou shalt rule them with a rod of iron;

Thou shalt dash them in pieces as a potter’s vessel.

[10] Now therefore understand, ye kings:

Be instructed, all ye that judge the earth.

[11] Serve the Lord with fear,

And rejoice in him with trembling.

[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.
