Psalm 2_1 - Christian Standard Bible Anglicised

Coronation of the Son

¹ Why  do the nations rage and the peoples plot in vain?

² The kings of the earth take their stand, and the rulers conspire together against the Lord and his Anointed One:  ,

³ ‘Let’s tear off their chains and throw off their ropes.’

⁴ The one enthroned  in heaven laughs; the Lord ridicules them.

⁵ Then he speaks to them in his anger and terrifies them in his wrath:

⁶ ‘I have installed my king on Zion, my holy mountain.’

⁷ I will declare the Lord’s decree. He said to me, ‘You are my Son; today I have become your Father.

⁸ Ask of me, and I will make the nations your inheritance and the ends of the earth your possession.

⁹ You will break them with an iron sceptre; you will shatter them like pottery.’

¹⁰ So now, kings, be wise; receive instruction, you judges of the earth.

¹¹ Serve the Lord with reverential awe and rejoice with trembling.

¹² Pay homage to  the Son or he will be angry and you will perish in your rebellion,  , for his anger may ignite at any moment. All who take refuge in him are happy.
