Psalm 2:7-12
New International Version
7 I will proclaim the Lord’s decree:
He said to me, “You are my son;(A)
today I have become your father.(B)
8 Ask me,
and I will make the nations(C) your inheritance,(D)
the ends of the earth(E) your possession.
9 You will break them with a rod of iron[a];(F)
you will dash them to pieces(G) like pottery.(H)”
10 Therefore, you kings, be wise;(I)
be warned, you rulers(J) of the earth.
11 Serve the Lord with fear(K)
and celebrate his rule(L) with trembling.(M)
12 Kiss his son,(N) or he will be angry
and your way will lead to your destruction,
for his wrath(O) can flare up in a moment.
Blessed(P) are all who take refuge(Q) in him.
