WEBBE PSA Chapter 2

2 Why do the nations rage,

and the peoples plot a vain thing?

2 The kings of the earth take a stand,

and the rulers take counsel together,

against the LORD, and against his Anointed,[fn] saying,

3 “Let’s break their bonds apart,

and cast their cords from us.”

4 He who sits in the heavens will laugh.

The Lord[fn] will have them in derision.

5 Then he will speak to them in his anger,

and terrify them in his wrath:

6 “Yet I have set my King on my holy hill of Zion.”

7 I will tell of the decree:

The LORD said to me, “You are my son.

Today I have become your father.

8 Ask of me, and I will give the nations for your inheritance,

the uttermost parts of the earth for your possession.

9 You shall break them with a rod of iron.

You shall dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel.”

10 Now therefore be wise, you kings.

Be instructed, you judges of the earth.

11 Serve the LORD with fear,

and rejoice with trembling.

12 Give sincere homage to the Son,[fn] 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.

2:2 The word “Anointed” is the same as the word for “Messiah” or “Christ”

2:4 The word translated “Lord” is “Adonai.”
