2:5 Then he angrily speaks to them
and terrifies them in his rage, 1 saying, 2
2:6 “I myself 3 have installed 4 my king
on Zion, my holy hill.”
2:7 The king says, 5 “I will announce the Lord’s decree. He said to me: 6
‘You are my son! 7 This very day I have become your father!
2:8 Ask me,
and I will give you the nations as your inheritance, 8
the ends of the earth as your personal property.
2:9 You will break them 9 with an iron scepter; 10
you will smash them like a potter’s jar!’” 11
2:10 So now, you kings, do what is wise; 12
you rulers of the earth, submit to correction! 13
2:11 Serve 14 the Lord in fear!
Repent in terror! 15
2:12 Give sincere homage! 16
Otherwise he 17 will be angry, 18
and you will die because of your behavior, 19
when his anger quickly ignites. 20
How blessed 21 are all who take shelter in him! 22
