Psalms 2 EASY

1. Why are nations making plans to turn against the Lord? All their plans will fail!

2. Kings and rulers decide to work together, to fight against the Lord and the king that he has chosen.

3. They say, ‘We will not accept their authority over us! We will get free from their power!’

4. The Lord who sits on his throne in heaven laughs at them. He says that their plans are useless.

5. Then he becomes very angry and he frightens them. He warns them with strong words and he says,

6. ‘I have put my king on his throne in Zion. I have put him on my holy mountain.’

7. I will tell you what the Lord has promised to me, his king. He said to me, ‘You are my son. Yes, today I have become your father!

8. Ask me and see what I will do! I will give you all the nations on the earth. They will all belong to you.

9. You will break them with an iron sceptre, as if they are clay pots.’

10. So, you kings, think carefully! You who rule the nations of the world, learn this lesson:

11. Respect the Lord and serve him. Enjoy his rule with fear!

12. Bend down low in front of his son! If not, the Lord will be angry. He will quickly become very angry. You will suddenly die! But as for those who serve the Lord as their king, he blesses them and he takes care of them all.
