2 P S A L M 2 1 Why do the nations conspire, and the peoples plot in vain? 2 They arise, the kings of the earth; princes plot against the Lord and his Anointed. 3 “Let us burst asunder their fetters. Let us cast off from us their chains.” 4 He who sits in the heavens laughs; the Lord derides and mocks them. 5 Then he will speak in his anger, his rage will strike them with terror. 6 “It is I who have appointed my king on Zion, my holy mountain.” 7 I will announce his decree: the Lord said to me, “You are my Son. It is I who have begotten you this day. 8 Ask of me and I will make nations your heritage, and the ends of the earth as your possession. 9 With a rod of iron you will rule them; like a potter’s jar you will shatter them.” Psalm 2
