Psalm 2

The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take council together against you, Lord, and against your Anointed. The nations rage, and people plot vain things.

But you, Father, sit in heaven and laugh. You hold them in derision. You speak to them in your wrath. You torment them in your deep displeasure.

Now, for those who are yours, you have decreed salvation. You have sent your only begotten son, and you have given him the nations for an inheritance. All the earth is his possession. He will break the rebellious with a rod of iron. He will dash them to pieces like a potter’s vessel.

However, you, Lord, in mercy and love, have brought me to my senses. You have opened my eyes that I can see you as Almighty God, and you have granted me repentance, and a new heart for you.

Now I have wisdom to see things as you see them, Father. I learned from your teachers. I serve the Lord Jesus with reverent fear, and I rejoice with honor and thanksgiving to Jesus as my Lord and your Christ, Father. I am blessed because my trust is in you!
