| # Chapter 2
#### 1 | Why have the Gentiles raged, and the people devised vain things?
#### 2 | The kings of the earth stood up, and the princes met together, against the Lord and against his Christ.
#### 3 | Let us break their bonds asunder: and let us cast away their yoke from us.
#### 4 | He that dwelleth in heaven shall laugh at them: and the Lord shall deride them.
#### 5 | Then shall he speak to them in his anger, and trouble them in his rage.
#### 6 | But I am appointed king by him over Sion his holy mountain, preaching his commandment.
#### 7 | The Lord hath said to me: Thou art my son, this day have I begotten thee.
#### 8 | Ask of me, and I will give thee the Gentiles for thy inheritance, and the utmost parts of the earth for thy possession.
#### 9 | Thou shalt rule them with a rod of iron, and shalt break them in pieces like a potter's vessel.
#### 10 | And now, O ye kings, understand: receive instruction, you that judge the earth.
#### 11 | Serve ye the Lord with fear: and rejoice unto him with trembling.
#### 12 | Embrace discipline, lest at any time the Lord be angry, and you perish from the just way.
#### 13 | When his wrath shall be kindled in a short time, blessed are all they that trust in him.
