Psalm 2
|
|
2:1
Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing? |
"Why have the nations raged?" (Unknown, 12th Century)
|
2:2
The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel
together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying,
|
2:3
Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.
|
2:4
He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the LORD shall have them in
derision. |
|
2:5
Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore
displeasure. |
|
2:6
Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion. |
(2:6-7)
"I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion. I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou art my Son;
this day have I begotten thee."
How many sons does God have?
|
2:7
I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou art my Son;
this day have I begotten thee.
|
2:8
Ask of me, and I shall
give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of
the earth for thy possession. |
(2:8-9) "Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance ... Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces
like a potter's vessel."
If you ask God, he'll force heathens to be your slaves and help you "dash them in pieces."
(2:12) "Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way."
Kiss the Son or God will get angry and might have to kill you.
|
2:9
Thou shalt break them
with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's
vessel.
|
2:10
Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth.
|
2:11 Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.
|
2:12
Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath
is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.
