The question “Why do the nations rage?” and the call to the kings to serve the LORD
어찌하여 열방이 분노하는고 묻고 군왕들에게 여호와를 섬기라 하는 말
Psalm 2:1–12: the text says, “Why do the nations rage, and the peoples plot a vain thing? The kings of the earth take a stand, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his Anointed, saying, ‘Let’s break their bonds apart, and cast their cords from us.’ He who sits in the heavens will laugh. The Lord will have them in derision. Then he will speak to them in his anger, and terrify them in his wrath: ‘Yet I have set my King on my holy hill of Zion.’” The speaker (“I”) says, “I will tell of the decree: The LORD said to me, ‘You are my son. Today I have become your father. Ask of me, and I will give the nations for your inheritance, the uttermost parts of the earth for your possession. You shall break them with a rod of iron. You shall dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel.’” The text goes on, “Now therefore be wise, you kings. Be instructed, you judges of the earth. Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling. Give sincere homage to the Son, lest he be angry, and you perish on the way, for his wrath will soon be kindled. Blessed are all those who take refuge in him.” The text does not name the Anointed of 2:2, the King of 2:6, the son of 2:7, or the Son of 2:12. The Korean Revised Version reads at 2:7 오늘날 내가 너를 낳았도다, with 낳았도다, have begotten, where WEB reads “Today I have become your father”; at 2:12 it reads 그 아들에게 입맞추라, kiss the son, where WEB reads “Give sincere homage to the Son”, and 여호와를 의지하는 자는 다 복이 있도다, naming the LORD, where WEB reads “Blessed are all those who take refuge in him.”

1Why do the nations rage, and the peoples plot a vain thing?
2The kings of the earth take a stand, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his Anointed, saying,
3“Let’s break their bonds apart, and cast their cords from us.”
4He who sits in the heavens will laugh. The Lord will have them in derision.

6“Yet I have set my King on my holy hill of Zion.”
7I will tell of the decree: The LORD said to me, “You are my son. Today I have become your father.
8Ask of me, and I will give the nations for your inheritance, the uttermost parts of the earth for your possession.
