Psalms 2장
A Psalm for a Royal Coronation
1
Why do the nations protest and the peoples grumble in vain?
2
Kings on earth rise up and princes plot together against the LORD and his anointed:
3
"Let us break their shackles and cast off their chains!"
4
The one enthroned in heaven laughs; the Lord derides them,
5
Then speaks to them in anger, terrifies them in wrath:
6
"I myself have installed my king on Zion, my holy mountain."
7
I will proclaim the decree of the LORD, who said to me, "You are my son; today I am your father.
8
Only ask it of me, and I will make your inheritance the nations, your possession the ends of the earth.
9
With an iron rod you shall shepherd them, like a clay pot you will shatter them."
10
And now, kings, give heed; take warning, rulers on earth.
11
Serve the LORD with fear; with trembling bow down in homage, Lest God be angry and you perish from the way in a sudden blaze of anger. Happy are all who take refuge in God!
12
with trembling kiss his feet, lest he be angry and your way come to nothing, for his fury flares up in a moment. How blessed are all who take refuge in him!
Psalms 2장
