| 2 | Psalms | ||
| 1 | Why do the nations conspire, and the peoples plot in vain? | God's Chosen King. Psalm 2 | |
| 2 | The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against Yahweh and his anointed, saying, | ||
| 3 | "Let us burst their bonds asunder, and cast their cords from us." | ||
| 4 | He who sits in the heavens laughs; Yahweh has them in derision. | ||
| 5 | Then he will speak to them in his wrath, and terrify them in his fury, saying, | ||
| 6 | "I have set my king on Zion, my holy hill." | ||
| 7 | I will tell of the decree of Yahweh: He said to me, "You are my son, today I have begotten you. | ||
| 8 | Ask of me, and I will make the nations your heritage, and the ends of the earth your possession. | ||
| 9 | You shall break them with a rod of iron, and dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel." | ||
| 10 | Now therefore, O kings, be wise; be warned, O rulers of the earth. | ||
| 11 | Serve Yahweh with fear, with trembling | ||
| 12 | kiss his feet, lest he be angry, and you perish in the way; for his wrath is quickly kindled. Blessed are all who take refuge in him. | ||
