Psalms 2
The Kingdom of Christ.
Psalms 2:1 Wherefore have nations assembled in tumult? Or should, peoples, mutter an empty thing? Psalms 2:2 The kings of earth take their station, and, grave men, have met by appointment together,against Yahweh, and against his Anointed One [saying]: Psalms 2:3 Let us break asunder their bonds,and cast from us their cords! Psalms 2:4 He that sitteth in the heavens, will laugh,My Lord, will mock at them: Psalms 2:5 Then, will he speak unto them in his anger, and, in his wrath, confound them: Psalms 2:6 Yet, I, have installed my king,on Zion my holy mountain. Psalms 2:7 Let me tell of a decree,Yahweh, hath said unto me, My son, thou art, I, today, have begotten thee: Psalms 2:8 Ask of me, and let me give nations as thine inheritance, and, as thy possession, the ends of the earth: Psalms 2:9 Thou shalt shepherd them with a sceptre of iron,as a potter's vessel, shalt thou dash them in pieces.
Kings are exhorted to accept it.
Psalms 2:10 Now, therefore, ye kings, show your prudence, Be admonished, ye judges of earth: Psalms 2:11 Serve Yahweh with reverence, and exult with trembling: Psalms 2:12 Kiss the son, lest he be angry, and ye perish by the way, for soon might be kindled his anger,How happy are all who seek refuge in him!
