Psalms 2:10-12

The LORD’s Anointed King and the Nations’ Futile Rebellion

Nations rebel -> LORD reigns -> King receives decree -> rulers are summoned to wise refuge

Berean Standard Bible, Public Domain - Translation notes - Reference sources

10Therefore be wise, O kings; be admonished, O judges of the earth.

11Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.

12Kiss the Son, lest He be angry and you perish in your rebellion, when His wrath ignites in an instant. Blessed are all who take refuge in Him.
