PSALM 2:1-12
Why are the nations so angry?
Why do they waste their time with
futile plans?
2 The kings of the earth prepare
for battle;
the rulers plot together
against the Lord
and against his anointed one.
3 “Let us break their chains,” they cry,
“and free ourselves from slavery
to God.”
1
But the one who rules in heaven
laughs.
The Lord scoffs at them.
5 Then in anger he rebukes them,
terrifying them with his fierce
fury.
6 For the Lord declares, “I have placed
my chosen king on the throne
in Jerusalem,* on my holy
mountain.”
4
The king proclaims the Lord’s
decree:
“The Lord said to me, ‘You are
my son.*
Today I have become your Father.*
8 Only ask, and I will give you the
nations as your inheritance,
the whole earth as your
possession.
9 You will break* them with an
iron rod
and smash them like clay pots.’ ”
7
Now then, you kings, act wisely!
Be warned, you rulers of the earth!
11 Serve the Lord with reverent fear,
and rejoice with trembling.
12 Submit to God’s royal son,* or he will
become angry,
and you will be destroyed in the
midst of all your activities—
for his anger flares up in an instant.
But what joy for all who take
refuge in him!

PROVERBS 1:7-9
Fear of the Lord is the foundation of
true knowledge, but fools despise wisdom and discipline. My child,* listen
when your father corrects you. Don’t
neglect your mother’s instruction.
What you learn from them will crown
you with grace and be a chain of honor
around your neck.
1:8 Hebrew My son; also in 1:10, 15.
