Psalm 2:6-12
Holman Christian Standard Bible
7 I will declare the Lord’s decree:
He said to Me, “You are My Son;[b]
today I have become Your[c] Father.(B)
8 Ask of Me,
and I will make the nations Your[d] inheritance
and the ends of the earth Your[e] possession.(C)
9 You will break[f] them with a rod of iron;
You[g] will shatter them like pottery.”[h](D)
10 So now, kings, be wise;
receive instruction, you judges of the earth.
11 Serve the Lord with reverential awe
and rejoice with trembling.(E)
12 Pay homage to[i] the Son or He[j] will be angry
and you will perish in your rebellion,[k](F)
for His[l] anger may ignite at any moment.(G)
All those who take refuge in Him[m] are happy.(H)

7 I will proclaim the Lord’s decree:
He said to me, “You are my son;(D)
today I have become your father.(E)
8 Ask me,
and I will make the nations(F) your inheritance,(G)
the ends of the earth(H) your possession.
9 You will break them with a rod of iron[a];(I)
you will dash them to pieces(J) like pottery.(K)”
10 Therefore, you kings, be wise;(L)
be warned, you rulers(M) of the earth.
11 Serve the Lord with fear(N)
and celebrate his rule(O) with trembling.(P)
12 Kiss his son,(Q) or he will be angry
and your way will lead to your destruction,
for his wrath(R) can flare up in a moment.
Blessed(S) are all who take refuge(T) in him.
