Psalm 2:2-8

World English Bible

² The kings of the earth take a stand,
    and the rulers take counsel together,
    against Yahweh, and against his Anointed,^[a] saying,
³ “Let’s break their bonds apart,
    and cast their cords from us.”
⁴ He who sits in the heavens will laugh.
    The Lord^[b] will have them in derision.
⁵ Then he will speak to them in his anger,
    and terrify them in his wrath:
⁶ “Yet I have set my King on my holy hill of Zion.”
⁷     I will tell of the decree:
Yahweh said to me, “You are my son.
    Today I have become your father.
⁸ Ask of me, and I will give the nations for your inheritance,
    the uttermost parts of the earth for your possession.
