Psalms 2

Why do the nations rage,

The kings of the earth take a stand,

“Let’s break their bonds apart,

He who sits in the heavens will laugh.

Then he will speak to them in his anger,

“Yet I have set my King on my holy hill of Zion.”

I will tell of the decree:

Ask of me, and I will give the nations for your inheritance,

You shall break them with a rod of iron.

Now therefore be wise, you kings.

Serve Yahweh with fear,

Give sincere homage to the Son, , and you perish on the way,
