Psalm 2:2-9
New King James Version
2 The kings of the earth set themselves,
And the (A)rulers take counsel together,
Against the Lord and against His (B)Anointed,[a] saying,
3 “Let (C)us break Their bonds in pieces
And cast away Their cords from us.”
4 He who sits in the heavens (D)shall laugh;
The Lord shall hold them in derision.
5 Then He shall speak to them in His wrath,
And distress them in His deep displeasure:
6 “Yet I have [b]set My King
[c]On My holy hill of Zion.”
7 “I will declare the [d]decree:
The Lord has said to Me,
(E)‘You are My Son,
Today I have begotten You.
8 Ask of Me, and I will give You
The nations for Your inheritance,
And the ends of the earth for Your possession.
9 (F)You shall [e]break them with a rod of iron;
You shall dash them to pieces like a potter’s vessel.’ ”
