Psalms 2
The Kingdom of Christ.
Psalms 2:1 Why have nations tumultuously assembled? And do peoples meditate vanity? Psalms 2:2 Station themselves do kings of the earth, And princes have been united together, Against Jehovah, and against His Messiah: Psalms 2:3 'Let us draw off Their cords, And cast from us Their thick bands.' Psalms 2:4 He who is sitting in the heavens doth laugh, The Lord doth mock at them. Psalms 2:5 Then doth He speak unto them in His anger, And in His wrath He doth trouble them: Psalms 2:6 'And I—I have anointed My King, Upon Zion—My holy hill.' Psalms 2:7 I declare concerning a statute: Jehovah said unto me, 'My Son Thou [art], I to-day have brought thee forth. Psalms 2:8 Ask of Me and I give nations—thy inheritance, And thy possession—the ends of earth. Psalms 2:9 Thou dost rule them with a sceptre of iron, As a vessel of a potter Thou dost crush them.'
Kings are exhorted to accept it.
Psalms 2:10 And now, O kings, act wisely, Be instructed, O judges of earth, Psalms 2:11 Serve ye Jehovah with fear, And rejoice with trembling. Psalms 2:12 Kiss the Chosen One, lest He be angry, And ye lose the way, When His anger burneth but a little, O the happiness of all trusting in Him!
