Psalm 2:6-12
New American Standard Bible
7 “I will announce the [a]decree of the Lord:
He said to Me, ‘You are (C)My Son,
Today I have fathered You.
8 Ask it of Me, and (D)I will certainly give (E)the [b]nations as Your inheritance,
And the (F)ends of the earth as Your possession.
9 You shall [c](G)break them with a [d]rod of iron,
You shall (H)shatter them like [e]earthenware.’”
10 Now then, you kings, (I)use insight;
Let yourselves be instructed, you [f]judges of the earth.
11 Serve the Lord with [g](J)reverence
And rejoice with (K)trembling.
12 [h]Kiss (L)the Son, that He not be angry and you perish on the way,
For (M)His wrath may be kindled quickly.
How blessed are all who (N)take refuge in Him!

Psalm 2:6-12
New International Version
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.
