Psalm 2:1-12 Book# 1 of Psalms [in Smaller Chunks] |
*Why do the heathen [a.k.a. Gentiles] rage & the people imagine a vain thing? The kings of the earth [install] themselves & the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord & against His anointed, saying, Let us break their [bondage in chains to pieces] & cast away their [ropes] from us. |
[Matthew 26:3-4 Then the chief priests, scribes & elders of the people assembled together, to the palace of the high priest, who was called Caiaphas. And consulted that they might take Jesus by [trickery] & kill Him.] |
He, Who sits in the heavens shall laugh. The Lord shall [ridicule] them. Then He shall speak to them in His [anger] & [distress] them, in His [extreme] displeasure. Yet, I have [put] my King upon My Holy Hill of Zion. |
*I will [proclaim] a decree: the Lord has said to Me, You are My Son; this day I have begotten You. [Luke 3:22 And the Holy Ghost descended in a bodily shape like a dove upon Him & a voice came from heaven, which said, You are My beloved Son. In You, I am well pleased.] |
Ask of Me & I shall give [to] You the heathen for your inheritance & the [furthest] parts of the earth for your possession. *You shall break them with [the] rod of iron. You shall dash them [into] pieces like a potter's vessel. |
[Revelation 19:15 And out of His mouth goes a sharp sword, that with it He should [strike] the nations. And He shall rule them with a rod of iron & He [tramples] the wine press of the fierceness & wrath of Almighty God.] |
Therefore, be wise now, O you kings & be instructed, you judges of the earth. Serve the Lord with fear [respect] & rejoice trembling. Kiss the Son, lest He be angry & you perish from the [path,] when His wrath [is started only] a little. Blessed are all [those who] put their trust in Him. |
[Revelation 6:16-17 And [they] said to the mountains & rocks, Fall on us & hide us from the face of Him, [Who] sits on the throne & from the wrath of the Lamb; For the great day of His wrath [has] come & who shall be able to [withstand it?] |
