Psalm 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.

English Standard Version ESV

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

2 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord and against his Anointed, saying,

3 “Let us burst their bonds apart and cast away their cords from us. ”

4 He who sits in the heavens laughs; the Lord holds them in derision.

5 Then he will speak to them in his wrath, and terrify them in his fury, saying,

6 “As for me, I have set my King on Zion, my holy hill. ”

7 I will tell of the decree: The Lord said to me, “You are my Son; today I have begotten you.

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

9 You shall break them with a rod of iron and dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel. ”

10 Now therefore, O kings, be wise; be warned, O rulers of the earth.

11 Serve the Lord with fear, and rejoice with trembling.

12 Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and you perish in the way, for his wrath is quickly kindled. Blessed are all who take refuge in him.
