Salmos 2

¹Why do the nations protest and the peoples grumble in vain?

²Kings on earth rise up and princes plot together against the LORD and his anointed:

³Let us break their shackles and cast off their chains!

⁴The one enthroned in heaven laughs; the Lord derides them,

⁵Then speaks to them in anger, terrifies them in wrath:

⁶I myself have installed my king on Zion, my holy mountain.

⁷I will proclaim the decree of the LORD, who said to me, You are my son; today I am your father.

⁸Only ask it of me, and I will make your inheritance the nations, your possession the ends of the earth.

⁹With an iron rod you shall shepherd them, like a clay pot you will shatter them.

¹⁰And now, kings, give heed; take warning, rulers on earth.

¹¹Serve the LORD with fear; with trembling bow down in homage, Lest God be angry and you perish from the way in a sudden blaze of anger. Happy are all who take refuge in God!
