Psalm 2

The Psalm

Psalms. Chapter 2. Why do the nations rage, and the peoples plot a vain thing? The kings of the earth take a stand, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his Anointed, saying, “Let’s break their bonds apart, and cast their cords from us.” He who sits in the heavens will laugh. The Lord will have them in derision. Then he will speak to them in his anger, and terrify them in his wrath: “Yet I have set my King on my holy hill of Zion.” I will tell of the decree: The LORD said to me, “You are my son. Today I have become your father. Ask of me, and I will give the nations for your inheritance, the uttermost parts of the earth for your possession. You shall break them with a rod of iron. You shall dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel.” Now therefore be wise, you kings. Be instructed, you judges of the earth. Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling. Give sincere homage to the Son, lest he be angry, and you perish on the way, for his wrath will soon be kindled. Blessed are all those who take refuge in him.

Worship Lyrics

Why do the nations rage, and the peoples plot a vain thing
The kings of the earth take a stand
And the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD
And
Against his Anointed, saying
Lets break their bonds apart, and cast their cords from us
He who sits in the heavens will laugh
The Lord will have them in derision
Then he will speak to them in his anger, and terrify them in his wrath:
Yet I have set my King on my holy hill of Zion
I will tell of the decree: The LORD said to me, You are my son
Today I have become your father
Ask of me
And I will give the nations for your inheritance
The uttermost parts of the earth for your possession
You shall break them with a rod of iron
You shall dash them in pieces like a potters vessel
Now therefore be wise, you kings
Be instructed, you judges of the earth
Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling
Give sincere homage to the Son, lest he be angry
And you perish on the way, for his wrath will soon be kindled
Blessed are all those who take refuge in him
