Psalms 2&3

[whitecrow255]

PS 2:1 Why do the nations conspire
and the peoples plot in vain?

PS 2:2 The kings of the earth take their stand
and the rulers gather together
against the LORD
and against his Anointed One.

PS 2:3 "Let us break their chains," they say,
"and throw off their fetters."

PS 2:4 The One enthroned in heaven laughs;
the Lord scoffs at them.

PS 2:5 Then he rebukes them in his anger
and terrifies them in his wrath, saying,

PS 2:6 "I have installed my King
on Zion, my holy hill."

PS 2:7 I will proclaim the decree of the LORD:
He said to me, "You are my Son;
today I have become your Father.

PS 2:8 Ask of me,
and I will make the nations your inheritance,
the ends of the earth your possession.

PS 2:9 You will rule them with an iron scepter;
you will dash them to pieces like pottery."

PS 2:10 Therefore, you kings, be wise;
be warned, you rulers of the earth.

PS 2:11 Serve the LORD with fear
and rejoice with trembling.

PS 2:12 Kiss the Son, lest he be angry
and you be destroyed in your way,
for his wrath can flare up in a moment.
Blessed are all who take refuge in him.

Psalm 3

A psalm of David. When he fled from his son Absalom.

PS 3:1 O LORD, how many are my foes!
How many rise up against me!

PS 3:2 Many are saying of me,
"God will not deliver him."
Selah

PS 3:3 But you are a shield around me, O LORD;
you bestow glory on me and lift up my head.

PS 3:4 To the LORD I cry aloud,
and he answers me from his holy hill.
Selah

PS 3:5 I lie down and sleep;
I wake again, because the LORD sustains me.

PS 3:6 I will not fear the tens of thousands
drawn up against me on every side.

PS 3:7 Arise, O LORD!
Deliver me, O my God!
Strike all my enemies on the jaw;
break the teeth of the wicked.

PS 3:8 From the LORD comes deliverance.
May your blessing be on your people.
Selah
