Psalms 2

Holman Christian Standard Bible CSB

1 Why do the nations rebel and the peoples plot in vain?

2 The kings of the earth take their stand and the rulers conspire together against the Lord and His Anointed One:

3 "Let us tear off their chains and free ourselves from their restraints."

4 The One enthroned in heaven laughs; the Lord ridicules them.

5 Then He speaks to them in His anger and terrifies them in His wrath:

6 "I have consecrated My King on Zion, My holy mountain."

7 I will declare the Lord's decree: He said to Me, "You are My Son; today I have become Your Father.

8 Ask of Me, and I will make the nations Your inheritance and the ends of the earth Your possession.

9 You will break them with a rod of iron; You will shatter them like pottery."

10 So now, kings, be wise; receive instruction, you judges of the earth.

11 Serve the Lord with reverential awe, and rejoice with trembling.

12 Pay homage to the Son, or He will be angry, and you will perish in your rebellion, for His anger may ignite at any moment. All those who take refuge in Him are happy.

New International Version NIV

1 Why do the nations conspireand the peoples plot in vain?

2 The kings of the earth rise up and the rulers band together against the LORD and against his anointed, saying,

3 “Let us break their chains and throw off their shackles.”

4 The One enthroned in heaven laughs; the Lord scoffs at them.

5 He rebukes them in his anger and terrifies them in his wrath, saying,

6 “I have installed my king on Zion, my holy mountain.”

7 I will proclaim the LORD’s decree: He said to me, “You are my son; today I have become your father.

8 Ask me, and I will make the nations your inheritance, the ends of the earth your possession.

9 You will break them with a rod of iron ; you will dash them to pieces like pottery.”

10 Therefore, you kings, be wise; be warned, you rulers of the earth.

11 Serve the LORD with fear and celebrate his rule with trembling.

12 Kiss his son, or he will be angry and your way will lead to your destruction, for his wrath can flare up in a moment. Blessed are all who take refuge in him.
