| # Chapter 2
#### 1 | Why do the nations rage, And the peoples meditate a vain thing?
#### 2 | The kings of the earth set themselves, And the rulers take counsel together, Against Jehovah, and against his anointed, saying,
#### 3 | Let us break their bonds asunder, And cast away their cords from us.
#### 4 | He that sitteth in the heavens will laugh: The Lord will have them in derision.
#### 5 | Then will he speak unto them in his wrath, And vex them in his sore displeasure:
#### 6 | Yet I have set my king Upon my holy hill of Zion.
#### 7 | I will tell of the decree: Jehovah said unto me, Thou art my son; This day have I begotten thee.
#### 8 | Ask of me, and I will give thee the nations for thine inheritance, And the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.
#### 9 | Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; Thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel.
#### 10 | Now therefore be wise, O ye kings: Be instructed, ye judges of the earth.
#### 11 | Serve Jehovah with fear, And rejoice with trembling.
#### 12 | Kiss the son, lest he be angry, and ye perish in the way, For his wrath will soon be kindled. Blessed are all they that take refuge in him. Psalm 3 A Psalm of David, when he fled from Absalom his son.
