Psalms 2:6-12 Good News Bible (GNB)

6. “On Zion, my sacred hill,” he says,“I have installed my king.”

7. “I will announce,” says the king, “what the Lord has declared.He said to me: ‘You are my son;today I have become your father.

8. Ask, and I will give you all the nations;the whole earth will be yours.

9. You will break them with an iron rod;you will shatter them in pieces like a clay pot.’ ”

10. Now listen to this warning, you kings;learn this lesson, you rulers of the world:

11. Serve the Lord with fear;

12. tremble and bow down to him;or else his anger will be quickly aroused,and you will suddenly die.Happy are all who go to him for protection.
