Psalm 2 📜 📕 ↷

1 WHY did the Gentiles rage, and peoples meditate vain things?📜💬📚

2 The kings of the earth stood up, and the Princes came together in one against our Lord, and against his Christ.📜💬📚

3 Let us break their bonds a-sunder: and let us cast away their yoke from us.📜💬📚

4 He that dwelleth in the heavens shall laugh at them: and our Lord shall scorn them.📜💬📚

5 Then shall he speak to them in his wrath, & in his fury he shall trouble them.📜💬📚

6 But I am appointed king by him over Sion his holy hill, preaching his precept.📜💬📚

7 The Lord said to me: Thou art my Son, I this day have begotten thee.📜💬📚

8 Ask of me, and I will give thee the Gentiles, for thine inheritance, and thy possession the ends of the earth.📜💬📚

9 Thou shalt rule them in a rod of iron, and as a potter's vessel thou shalt break them in pieces.📜💬📚

10 And now ye kings understand: take instruction you that judge the earth.📜💬📚

11 Serve our Lord in fear: and rejoice to him with trembling.📜💬📚

12 Apprehend discipline lest sometimes our Lord be wrath, and you perish out of the just way.📜💬📚

13 when his wrath shall burn in short time, blessed are all that trust in him.📜💬📚
