Psalm 2:2-9

2The kings of the earth rise up and the rulers band together against the LORD and against his anointed, saying,

3“Let us break their chains and throw off their shackles.”

4The One enthroned in heaven laughs; the Lord scoffs at them.

5He rebukes them in his anger and terrifies them in his wrath, saying,

6“I have installed my king on Zion, my holy mountain.”

7I will proclaim the LORD ’s decree: He said to me, “You are my son; today I have become your father.

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

9You will break them with a rod of iron Or will rule them with an iron scepter (see Septuagint and Syriac) ; you will dash them to pieces like pottery.”
