Psalms Chapter 2
1 Why do the nations get together
to plot pointless schemes?
2 Kings take their stand
and rulers hold counsel
against Yahveh and his Anointed One [Messiah]:
3“Let’s break their bonds
and throw them away.”
4 The One that’s in heaven laughs;
Yahveh scoffs at them.
5 He’ll speak to them in his anger
and terrify them with his fury:
6 “I’ve installed my King on Zion, my holy mountain.”
Ps 2:1-6
7 “I’ll tell Yahveh’s decree:
‘You’re my Son;
I’ve inaugurated you today.
8 Just ask me, and I’ll give you the nations to inherit,
the most distant lands to possess.
9 You’ll rule them with an iron scepter
and shatter them like clay pots.’”
10 So, kings, be wise;
rulers, be warned.
11 Serve Yahveh with reverence;
celebrate with trembling.
12 Kiss the Son so he won’t be angry
and you perish along the way;
his anger is easily sparked.
They’re so fortunate who take refuge in him!
Ps 2:7-12
