Psalms 2:1-9

ERV(i) 1 Why do the nations rage, and the peoples imagine a vain thing? 2 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, [saying], 3 Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us. 4 He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision. 5 Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure: 6 Yet I have set my king upon my holy hill of Zion. 7 I will tell of the decree: the LORD said unto me, Thou art my son; this day have I begotten thee. 8 Ask of me, and I will give thee the nations for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession. 9 Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel.
