1902 Rotherham's Emphasized Bible (EBR)

1 The Kingdom of Christ. 10 Kings are exhorted to accept it.

2:1 ¶ Wherefore have nations assembled in tumult? Or should, peoples, mutter an empty thing?

2:2 The kings of earth take their station, and, grave men, have met by appointment together,—against Yahweh, and against his Anointed One [saying]:

2:3 Let us break asunder their bonds,—and cast from us their cords!

2:4 He that sitteth in the heavens, will laugh,—My Lord, will mock at them:

2:5 Then, will he speak unto them in his anger, and, in his wrath, confound them:

2:6 Yet, I, have installed my king,—on Zion my holy mountain.

2:7 ¶ Let me tell of a decree,—Yahweh, hath said unto me, My son, thou art, I, today, have begotten thee:

2:8 Ask of me, and let me give nations as thine inheritance, and, as thy possession, the ends of the earth:

2:9 Thou shalt shepherd them with a sceptre of iron,—as a potter's vessel, shalt thou dash them in pieces.

2:10 ¶ Now, therefore, ye kings, show your prudence, Be admonished, ye judges of earth:

2:11 Serve Yahweh with reverence, and exult with trembling:

2:12 Kiss the son, lest he be angry, and ye perish by the way, for soon might be kindled his anger,—How happy are all who seek refuge in him!
