New International Version
Psalm 2:7-12
New International Version
7 I will proclaim the Lord’s decree:
He said to me, “You are my son;(A)
today I have become your father.(B)
8 Ask me,
and I will make the nations(C) your inheritance,(D)
the ends of the earth(E) your possession.
9 You will break them with a rod of iron[a];(F)
you will dash them to pieces(G) like pottery.(H)”
10 Therefore, you kings, be wise;(I)
be warned, you rulers(J) of the earth.
11 Serve the Lord with fear(K)
and celebrate his rule(L) with trembling.(M)
12 Kiss his son,(N) or he will be angry
and your way will lead to your destruction,
for his wrath(O) can flare up in a moment.
Blessed(P) are all who take refuge(Q) in him.

Psalm 2:7-12
King James Version
7 I will declare the decree: the Lord hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee.
8 Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.
9 Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel.
10 Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth.
11 Serve the Lord with fear, and rejoice with trembling.
12 Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.
