Psalm 2:4-9

English Standard Version

⁴He who ^(A)sits in the heavens ^(B)laughs;
    the Lord holds them in derision.
⁵Then he will speak to them in his ^(C)wrath,
    and terrify them in his fury, saying,
⁶“As for me, I have ^(D)set my King
    on ^(E)Zion, my ^(F)holy hill.”

⁷I will tell of the decree:
The Lord said to me, ^(G)“You are my Son;
    today I have begotten you.
⁸Ask of me, and I will make the nations your heritage,
    and ^(H)the ends of the earth your possession.
⁹You shall ^(I)break^[a] them with ^(J)a rod of iron
    and dash them in pieces like ^(K)a potter's vessel.”

The Rider on a White Horse

¹¹Then I saw ^(A)heaven opened, and behold, ^(B)a white horse! The one sitting on it is called ^(C)Faithful and True, and ^(D)in righteousness he judges and makes war. ¹²^(E)His eyes are like a flame of fire, and on his head are ^(F)many diadems, and he has ^(G)a name written that no one knows but himself. ¹³He is clothed in ^(H)a robe dipped in^[a] blood, and the name by which he is called is ^(I)The Word of God. ¹⁴And the armies of heaven, ^(J)arrayed in fine linen, white and pure, ^(K)were following him on white horses. ¹⁵^(L)From his mouth comes a sharp sword ^(M)with which to strike down the nations, and ^(N)he will rule^[b] them with a rod of iron. ^(O)He will tread the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God the Almighty. ¹⁶On his robe and on his thigh ^(P)he has a name written, ^(Q)King of kings and Lord of lords.
