Psalm 2

Good News Translation GNT

1 Why do the nations plan rebellion? Why do people make their useless plots?

2 Their kings revolt, their rulers plot together against the Lord and against the king he chose.

3 "Let us free ourselves from their rule," they say; "let us throw off their control."

4 From his throne in heaven the Lord laughs and mocks their feeble plans.

5 Then he warns them in anger and terrifies them with his fury.

6 "On Zion, my sacred hill," he says, "I have installed my king."

7 "I will announce," says the king, "what the Lord has declared. He said to me: "You are my son; today I have become your father.

8 Ask, and I will give you all the nations; the whole earth will be yours.

9 You will break them with an iron rod; you will shatter them in pieces like a clay pot.' "

10 Now listen to this warning, you kings; learn this lesson, you rulers of the world:

11 Serve the Lord with fear; tremble

12 and bow down to him; or else his anger will be quickly aroused, and you will suddenly die. Happy are all who go to him for protection.

1 Why do the nations rage, And the peoples plot a vain thing?

2 The kings of the earth take a stand, And the rulers take counsel together, Against Yahweh, and against his anointed, saying,

3 "Let us break their bonds apart, And cast away their cords from us."

4 He who sits in the heavens will laugh. The Lord will have them in derision.

5 Then he will speak to them in his anger, And terrify them in his wrath:

6 "Yet I have set my king on my holy hill of Zion."

7 I will tell of the decree. Yahweh said to me, "You are my son. Today I have become your father.

8 Ask of me, and I will give the nations for your inheritance, The uttermost parts 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 be wise, you kings. Be instructed, you judges of the earth.

11 Serve Yahweh with fear, And rejoice with trembling.

12 Kiss the son, lest he be angry, and you perish in the way, For his wrath will soon be kindled. Blessed are all those who take refuge in him.
