The Reign of the Lord’s Anointed
12:1 Cited Acts 4:25, 26Why do 2:1 [Ps. 46:6]the nations rage2:1 Or nations noisily assemble
and the peoples plot in vain?
2The kings of the earth set themselves,
and the rulers take counsel together,
against the Lord and against his 2:2 Ps. 18:50; 20:6; 45:7; 89:20Anointed, saying,
3“Let us 2:3 Jer. 5:5burst their bonds apart
and cast away their cords from us.”

4He who 2:4 Ps. 11:4; 29:10; [Isa. 40:22] sits in the heavens 2:4 Ps. 37:13; 59:8; Job 22:19; Prov. 1:26laughs;
the Lord holds them in derision.
5Then he will speak to them in his 2:5 Rev. 6:16, 17wrath,
and terrify them in his fury, saying,
6“As for me, I have 2:6 Prov. 8:23set my King
on 2:6 2 Sam. 5:7; Ps. 110:2Zion, my 2:6 Ps. 3:4; 15:1; 43:3; 99:9holy hill.”

7I will tell of the decree:
The Lord said to me, 2:7 Rom. 1:4; Cited Acts 13:33; Heb. 1:5; 5:5“You are my Son;
today I have begotten you.
8Ask of me, and I will make the nations your heritage,
and 2:8 [Ps. 72:8; 89:27; Dan. 7:14]the ends of the earth your possession.
9You shall 2:9 Ps. 89:23; Job 34:24break2:9 Revocalization yields (compare Septuagint) You shall rule them with 2:9 Rev. 2:27; 12:5; 19:15a rod of iron
and dash them in pieces like 2:9 Isa. 30:14; Jer. 19:11a potter’s vessel.”

10Now therefore, O kings, be wise;
be warned, O rulers of the earth.
112:11 Heb. 12:28Serve the Lord with 2:11 Phil. 2:12fear,
and 2:11 Phil. 4:4rejoice with 2:11 Phil. 2:12trembling.
122:12 1 Sam. 10:1; 1 Kgs. 19:18; [John 5:23] Kiss 2:12 Prov. 31:2the Son,
lest he be angry, and you perish in the way,
for his 2:12 ver. 5wrath is quickly kindled.
2:12 Ps. 34:8; 84:12; Prov. 16:20; Jer. 17:7; [Ps. 146:5; Isa. 30:18]Blessed are all who take refuge in him.
