Psalm 2:1-8 Devotionals, Articles & Bible Study

¹Why do the nations rage

and the peoples plot in vain?

²The kings of the earth take their stand

and the rulers gather together,

against the LORD

and against His Anointed One:

³“Let us break Their chains

and cast away Their cords.”

⁴The One enthroned in heaven laughs;

the Lord taunts them.

⁵Then He rebukes them in His anger,

and terrifies them in His fury:

⁶“I have installed My King on Zion,

upon My holy mountain.”

⁷I will proclaim the decree

spoken to Me by the LORD:

“You are My Son;

today I have become Your Father.

⁸Ask Me, and I will make the nations Your inheritance,

the ends of the earth Your possession.

— Psalm 2:1-8
