Psalm 2

The Message Bible MSG

1 Why the big noise, nations? Why the mean plots, peoples?

2 Earth-leaders push for position, Demagogues and delegates meet for summit talks, The God-deniers, the Messiah-defiers:

3 "Let's get free of God! Cast loose from Messiah!"

4 Heaven-throned God breaks out laughing. At first he's amused at their presumption;

5 Then he gets good and angry. Furiously, he shuts them up:

6 "Don't you know there's a King in Zion? A coronation banquet Is spread for him on the holy summit."

7 Let me tell you what God said next. He said, "You're my son, And today is your birthday.

8 What do you want? Name it: Nations as a present? continents as a prize?

9 You can command them all to dance for you, Or throw them out with tomorrow's trash."

10 So, rebel-kings, use your heads; Upstart-judges, learn your lesson:

11 Worship God in adoring embrace,

12 Kiss Messiah! Your very lives are in danger, you know; His anger is about to explode, But if you make a run for God - you won't regret it!

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.
