Psalm 2

I will preach the law, whereof the Lord hath said unto me *

Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee.

Desire of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance *

and the utmost parts of the earth for thy possession.

Thou shalt bruise them with a rod of iron *

and break them in pieces like a potter’s vessel.

Be wise now therefore, O ye kings *

be learned, ye that are judges of the earth.
