Psalm 2:5-13 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

5. Then will he speak to them in his anger and trouble them with his fury.

6. Yet I have been appointed king by him over Zion, his holy mountain, preaching his precepts.

7. The Lord has said to me: You are my son, this day have I begotten you.

8. Ask of me and I will give to you: the Gentiles for your inheritance, and the ends of the earth for your possession.

9. You will rule them with an iron rod, and you will shatter them like a potter's vessel.

10. And now, O kings, understand. Receive instruction, you who judge the earth.

11. Serve the Lord in fear, and exult in him with trembling.

12. Embrace discipline, lest at any time the Lord might become angry, and you would perish from the way of the just.

13. Though his wrath can flare up in a short time, blessed are all those who trust in him.
