Psalms 2

Lexham English Bible LEB

1 Why are nations in tumult, and countries plotting in vain?

2 [The] kings of [the] earth establish themselves, and the rulers conspire together against Yahweh and his anointed:

3 "Let us tear off their bonds, and cast their cords from us!"

4 [He who] sits [enthroned] in the heavens laughs. The Lord derides them.

5 Then he speaks to them in his wrath, and in his fury he terrifies them:

6 "But as for me, I have set my king on Zion, my holy mountain."

7 I will tell the decree; Yahweh said to me: "You are my son; today I have begotten you.

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

9 You will break them with an iron rod. Like a potter's vessel you will shatter them."

10 So then, O kings, be wise. Be warned, O rulers of [the] earth.

11 Serve Yahweh with fear, and rejoice with trembling.

12 Kiss the Son lest he be angry and you perish [on the] way, for his anger burns quickly. Blessed are all [who] take refuge in him.

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.
