ASV · American Standard Version

Psalms 2

1Why do the nations rage,

2The kings of the earth set themselves,

3Let us break their bonds asunder,

4He that sitteth in the heavens will laugh:

5Then will he speak unto them in his wrath,

6Yet I have set my king

7I will tell of the decree:

8Ask of me, and I will give thee the nations for thine inheritance,

9Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron;

10Now therefore be wise, O ye kings:

11Serve Jehovah with fear,

12Kiss the son, lest he be angry, and ye perish in the way,
