CHAPTER TWO
1 Why are the nations in an uproar? And why do the peoples devise a vain thing?
2 The kings of the earth stand up, and the rulers take counsel together, {n}
Against YHVH, and against His Anointed:
3 ‘Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.’
4 He who sits in heaven laughs; the Lord has them in derision.
5 Then He will speak to them in His wrath, and terrify them in His sore displeasure:
6 “Truly it is I who has established My king on Zion, My holy mountain.”
7 I will tell of the decree: YHVH said to Me: “You are My Son, this day I have begotten You.
8 Ask of Me, and I will give the nations for Your inheritance, and the ends of the earth for Your possession.
9 You shall break them with a rod of iron; You shall dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel.”
10 Now therefore, O kings, be wise; be admonished, you judges of the earth.
11 Serve YHVH with fear, and rejoice with trembling.
12 Pay sincere homage to the Son, lest He be angry, and you perish in the way, when suddenly His wrath is kindled. {n}
Happy are all those who take refuge in Him. {p}
