Psalm 2
1 Why do the nations conspire[a]
and the peoples plot in vain?
2 The kings of the earth rise up
and the rulers band together
against the Lord and against his anointed, saying,
3 “Let us break their chains
and throw off their shackles.”
and the peoples plot in vain?
2 The kings of the earth rise up
and the rulers band together
against the Lord and against his anointed, saying,
3 “Let us break their chains
and throw off their shackles.”
4 The One enthroned in heaven laughs;
the Lord scoffs at them.
5 He rebukes them in his anger
and terrifies them in his wrath, saying,
6 “I have installed my king
on Zion, my holy mountain.”
the Lord scoffs at them.
5 He rebukes them in his anger
and terrifies them in his wrath, saying,
6 “I have installed my king
on Zion, my holy mountain.”
7 I will proclaim the Lord’s decree:
He said to me, “You are my son;
today I have become your father.
8 Ask me,
and I will make the nations your inheritance,
the ends of the earth your possession.
9 You will break them with a rod of iron[b];
you will dash them to pieces like pottery.”
today I have become your father.
8 Ask me,
and I will make the nations your inheritance,
the ends of the earth your possession.
9 You will break them with a rod of iron[b];
you will dash them to pieces like pottery.”
10 Therefore, you kings, be wise;
be warned, you rulers of the earth.
11 Serve the Lord with fear
and celebrate his rule with trembling.
12 Kiss his son, or he will be angry
and your way will lead to your destruction,
for his wrath can flare up in a moment.
Blessed are all who take refuge in him.

My Words
Why do I conspire to find meaning in my life?
Why do I plan revenge in my head against those who have wronged me?
Why do I listen to those who do not believe in the Lord and understand their feelings?
Does, following you God make me more free or am a trapped for meaningless reasons?
Is God laughing at me? Am I the sinner who is being scoffed?
Am I being rebuked in His anger?
I so long to be righteous, but I am falling so short
God, help me to see that I am Yours
God, I want to see your goodness
I want to believe that You will protect me
God, the nations conspire against you
I want to be a vessel of truth, but today I am so broken
Put wise words in my mouth
Use me, if You see fit, help me to trust You
I am afraid of You, God, please spare me Your wrath
Will You bless me if I take refuge in You?
