Psalms 2:8 in context

Psalms 2:5–11

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.”

I will tell of the decree:

The LORD said to me, “You are my son.

Today I have become your father.

Selected verse

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.”

Now therefore be wise, you kings.

Be instructed, you judges of the earth.

Serve the LORD with fear,

and rejoice with trembling.
