Why Do the Heathen So Furiously Rage (Psalm 2)
Why do the heathen so furiously rage together : and why do the people imagine a vain thing?
2 The kings of the earth stand up, and the rulers take counsel together : against the Lord, and against his Anointed
3 Let us break their bonds asunder : and cast away their cords from us
4 He that dwelleth in heaven shall laugh them to scorn : the Lord shall have them in derision
5 Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath : and vex them in his sore displeasure
6 Yet have I set my King : upon my holy hill of Sion
7 I will preach the law, whereof the Lord hath said unto me : Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee
8 Desire of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance : and the utmost parts of the earth for thy possession
9 Thou shalt bruise them with a rod of iron : and break them in pieces like a potter's vessel
10 Be wise now therefore, O ye kings : be learned, ye that are judges of the earth
11 Serve the Lord in fear : and rejoice unto him with reverence
12 Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and so ye perish from the right way : if his wrath be kindled, (yea but a little,) blessed are all they that put their trust in him
