Psalms 2

¹Why do the nations rage,

²The kings of the earth take a stand,

³“Let’s break their bonds apart,

⁴He who sits in the heavens will laugh.

⁵Then he will speak to them in his anger,

⁶“Yet I have set my King on my holy hill of Zion.”

⁷I will tell of the decree:

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

⁹You shall break them with a rod of iron.

¹⁰Now therefore be wise, you kings.

¹¹Serve Yahweh with fear,

¹²Give sincere homage to the Son,2:12 or, Kiss the son lest he be angry, and you perish on the way,
