Psalms 2:4-9

⁴He who sits in the heavens will laugh. The Lord will have them in derision.

⁵Then he will speak to them in his anger, and terrify them in his wrath:

⁶“Yet I have set my King on my holy hill of Zion.”

⁷I will tell of the decree: The LORD said to me, “You are my son. Today I have become your father.

⁸Ask of me, and I will give the nations for your inheritance, the uttermost parts of the earth for your possession.

⁹You shall break them with a rod of iron. You shall dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel.”
