The Triumphant Messiah
1Why do the nations rage 2:1FootnoteOr noisily assemble; see Revelation 11:18.and the peoples plot in vain?2The kings of the earth take their standand the rulers gather together,against the Lordand against His Anointed One:2:2FootnoteCited in Acts 4:25–263“Let us break Their chainsand cast away Their cords.”
4The One enthroned in heaven laughs;the Lord taunts them.5Then He rebukes them in His anger,and terrifies them in His fury:6“I have installed My King on Zion,upon My holy mountain.”
7I will proclaim the decreespoken to Me by the Lord:“You are My Son;today I have become Your Father.2:7FootnoteLiterally today I have begotten You; cited in Acts 13:33, Hebrews 1:5, and Hebrews 5:58Ask Me, and I will make the nations Your inheritance,the ends of the earth Your possession.9You will break them 2:9FootnoteLXX You will rule them or You will shepherd them with an iron scepter;You will shatter them like pottery.2:9FootnoteCited in Revelation 2:27; see also Revelation 12:5 and Revelation 19:15.”
10Therefore be wise, O kings;be admonished, O judges of the earth.11Serve the Lord with fear,and rejoice with trembling.12Kiss the Son, lest He be angryand you perish in your rebellion,when His wrath ignites in an instant.
Blessed are all who take refuge in Him.
