The Book of Psalms
Psalm 2
Quare fremuerunt.
The vain efforts of persecutors against Christ and his church.
 1 |
Why have the Gentiles raged, and the people devised vain things? |
2 |
The kings of the earth stood up, and the princes met together, against the Lord, and against his Christ. |
3 |
Let us break their bonds asunder: and let us cast away their yoke from us. |
4 |
He that dwelleth in heaven shall laugh at them: and the Lord shall deride them. |
5 |
Then shall he speak to them in his anger, and trouble them in his rage. |
6 |
But I am appointed king by him over Sion, his holy mountain, preaching his commandment. |
7 |
The Lord hath said to me: Thou art my son, this day have I begotten thee. |
8 |
Ask of me, and I will give thee the Gentiles for thy inheritance, and the utmost parts of the earth for thy possession. |
9 |
Thou shalt rule them with a rod of iron, and shalt break them in pieces like a potter's vessel. |
10 |
And now, O ye kings, understand: receive instruction, you that judge the earth. |
11 |
Serve ye the Lord with fear: and rejoice unto him with trembling. |
12 |
Embrace discipline, lest at any time the Lord be angry, and you perish from the just way. |
13 |
When his wrath shall be kindled in a short time, blessed are all they that trust in him. |
