Psalms 2:5-12

⁵Then shall he speak to them in his anger, And trouble them in his fury.

⁶But I have been made king by him On Zion his holy mountain,

⁷Declaring the ordinance of the Lord: The Lord said to me, Thou art my Son, today have I begotten thee.

⁸Ask of me, and I will give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, And the ends of the earth for thy possession.

⁹Thou shalt rule them with a rod of iron; Thou shalt dash them in pieces as a potter’s vessel.

¹⁰Now therefore understand, ye kings: Be instructed, all ye that judge the earth.

¹¹Serve the Lord with fear, And rejoice in him with trembling.

¹²Accept correction, lest at any time the Lord be angry, And ye should perish from the righteous way: Whensoever his wrath shall be suddenly kindled, Blessed are all they that trust in him.
