Psalm 2 :: Legacy Standard Bible (LSB)

The kings ^H4428 of the earth ^H776 take ^H3320 their stand ^H3320

And the rulers ^H7336 take ^H3245 counsel ^H3245 together ^H3162

Against ^H5921 Yahweh ^H3068 and against ^H5921 His [fn]Anointed ^H4899, saying,

“Let us tear ^H5423 their fetters ^H4147 apart ^H5423

And cast ^H7993 away ^H7993 their cords ^H5688 from us!”

He who [fn]sits ^H3427 in the heavens ^H8064 laughs ^H7832,

The Lord ^H136 mocks ^H3932 them.

Then ^H227 He speaks ^H1696 to them in His anger ^H639

And terrifies ^H926 them in His fury ^H2740, saying,

“But as for Me, I have [fn]installed ^H5258 My King ^H4428

Upon Zion ^H6726, My holy ^H6944 mountain ^H2022.”

“I will surely ^H3588 tell ^H5608 of the [fn]decree ^H2706 of Yahweh ^H3068:

He said ^H559 to Me, ‘You are My Son ^H1121,

Today ^H3117 I have begotten ^H3205 You.

‘Ask ^H7592 of Me, and I will surely give ^H5414 the [fn]nations ^H1471 as Your inheritance ^H5159,

And the ends ^H657 of the earth ^H776 as Your possession ^H272.

‘You shall [fn]break ^H7489 them with a [fn]rod ^H7626 of iron ^H1270,

You shall shatter ^H5310 them like a potter’s ^H3335 vessel ^H3627.’”

So now ^H6258, O kings ^H4428, show ^H7919 insight ^H7919;

Take ^H3256 warning ^H3256, O [fn]judges ^H8199 of the earth ^H776.

Serve ^H5647 Yahweh ^H3068 with fear ^H3374

And rejoice ^H1523 with trembling ^H7461.

[fn]Kiss ^H5401 the Son ^H1248, lest ^H6435 He become ^H599 angry ^H599, and you perish ^H6 in the way ^H1870,

For His [fn]wrath ^H639 may [fn]soon ^H4592 be kindled ^H1197.

How blessed ^H835 are all ^H3605 who take ^H2620 refuge ^H2620 in Him!
