Day-23

Psalm 2

Why do the nations rage, And the people plot a vain thing? 2 The kings of the earth set themselves, And the rulers take counsel together, Against the Lord and against His Anointed, saying, 3 “Let us break Their bonds in pieces And cast away Their cords from us.” 4 He who sits in the heavens shall laugh; The Lord shall hold them in derision. 5 Then He shall speak to them in His wrath, And distress them in His deep displeasure: 6 “Yet I have set My King On My holy hill of Zion.” 7 “I will declare the decree: The Lord has said to Me, ‘You are My Son, Today I have begotten You. 8 Ask of Me, and I will give You The nations for Your inheritance, And the ends of the earth for Your possession. 9 You shall break them with a rod of iron; You shall dash them to pieces like a potter’s vessel.’” 10 Now therefore, be wise, O kings; Be instructed, you judges of the earth. 11 Serve the Lord with fear, And rejoice with trembling. 12 Kiss the Son, lest He be angry, And you perish in the way, When His wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all those who put their trust in Him.

詩2

外邦為甚麼爭鬧？萬民為甚麼謀算虛妄的事？2 世上的君王一齊起來，臣宰一同商議，要敵擋耶和華並他的受膏者，3 說：“我們要掙開他們的捆綁，脫去他們的繩索。” 4 那坐在天上的必發笑；主必嗤笑他們。5 那時，他要在怒中責備他們，在烈怒中驚嚇他們，6 說：“我已經立我的君在錫安我的聖山上了。” 7 受膏者說，我要傳聖旨：耶和華曾對我說：“你是我的兒子，我今日生你。8 你求我，我就將列國賜你為基業，將地極賜你為田產。9 你必用鐵杖打破他們，你必將他們如同窯匠的瓦器摔碎。” 10 現在，你們君王應當省悟；你們世上的審判官該受管教！11 當存畏懼事奉耶和華，又當存戰兢而快樂。12 當以嘴親子，恐怕他發怒，你們便在道中滅亡，因為他的怒氣快要發作。凡投靠他的，都是有福的。
