Psalms 2
The Kingdom of Christ.
Psalms 2:1 Why do the nations rage, and the peoples imagine a vain thing? Psalms 2:2 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, [saying], Psalms 2:3 Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us. Psalms 2:4 He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision. Psalms 2:5 Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure: Psalms 2:6 Yet I have set my king upon my holy hill of Zion. Psalms 2:7 I will tell of the decree: the LORD said unto me, Thou art my son; this day have I begotten thee. Psalms 2:8 Ask of me, and I will give thee the nations for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession. Psalms 2:9 Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel.
Kings are exhorted to accept it.
Psalms 2:10 Now therefore be wise, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth. Psalms 2:11 Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling. Psalms 2:12 Kiss the son, lest he be angry, and ye perish in the way, for his wrath will soon be kindled. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.
