Old Testament

New Testament

Psalm 2:3-12 English Standard Version (ESV)

3. “Let us burst their bonds apartand cast away their cords from us.”

4. He who sits in the heavens laughs;the Lord holds them in derision.

5. Then he will speak to them in his wrath,and terrify them in his fury, saying,

6. “As for me, I have set my Kingon Zion, my holy hill.”

7. I will tell of the decree:The Lord said to me, “You are my Son;today I have begotten you.

8. Ask of me, and I will make the nations your heritage,and the ends of the earth your possession.

9. You shall break them with a rod of ironand dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel.”

10. Now therefore, O kings, be wise;be warned, O rulers of the earth.

11. Serve the Lord with fear,and rejoice with trembling.

12. Kiss the Son,lest he be angry, and you perish in the way,for his wrath is quickly kindled. Blessed are all who take refuge in him.
