Psalms 2

Third Millennium Bible TMB

1 Why do the heathen rage, and the people devise a vain thing?

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 break Their bonds asunder, and cast away Their cords from us."

4 He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh; the LORD shall hold them in derision.

5 Then shall He speak unto them in His wrath, and vex them in His sore displeasure:

6 "Yet have I set My King upon My holy hill of Zion."

7 "I will declare the decree: The LORD hath said unto Me, `Thou art My Son; this day have I begotten Thee.

8 Ask of Me, and I shall give Thee the heathen for Thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for Thy possession.

9 Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; Thou shalt dash them to pieces like a potter's vessel.'"

10 Be wise now therefore, O ye kings; be instructed, ye judges of the earth.

11 Serve the LORD with fear and rejoice with trembling.

12 Kiss the Son, lest He be angry and ye perish from the way, when His wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in Him.

GOD'S WORD Translation GW

1 Why do the nations gather together? Why do their people devise useless plots?

2 Kings take their stands. Rulers make plans together against the LORD and against his Messiah by saying,

3 "Let's break apart their chains and shake off their ropes."

4 The one enthroned in heaven laughs. The Lord makes fun of them.

5 Then he speaks to them in his anger. In his burning anger he terrifies them by saying,

6 "I have installed my own king on Zion, my holy mountain."

7 I will announce the LORD's decree. He said to me: "You are my Son. Today I have become your Father.

8 Ask me, and I will give you the nations as your inheritance and the ends of the earth as your own possession.

9 You will break them with an iron scepter. You will smash them to pieces like pottery."

10 Now, you kings, act wisely. Be warned, you rulers of the earth!

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

12 Kiss the Son, or he will become angry and you will die on your way because his anger will burst into flames. Blessed is everyone who takes refuge in him.
