Psalms 2:1-8
-
1 Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?
-
2 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying,
-
3 Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.
-
4 He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the LORD shall have them in derision.
-
5 Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure.
-
6 Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.
-
7 I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee.
-
8 Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.
