DAY 3
Psalm 2
Why do the heathen rage, | Our people are angry at life - at You - and filled with violence. |
and the people imagine a vain thing? | But they still believe that they can save themselves. |
{2} The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against His Anointed, | All of our leaders are Secular Humanists. They despise Your Word and Your People, and build Babylon. |
saying, {3} Let us break Their bands asunder, and cast away Their cords from us. | Your gracious Law is called a burden. Life in the Garden they call slavery. |
{4} He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision. | Give us the confidence to laugh at their arrogant presumption. Let us not believe their lies. |
{5} Then shall He speak unto them in His wrath, and vex them in His sore displeasure. | Let us be Your whips as you overturn their multi-national Empires. |
{6} Yet have I set My King upon My Holy Hill of Zion. | Thank you for sending Your Son, and making Him King. |
{7} I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto Me, Thou art My Son; this day have I begotten Thee. | We join all the saints and angels in praising You for Your only begotten Son. We Trust in Him. |
{8} Ask of me, and I shall give Thee the heathen for Thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for Thy possession. | The world belongs to Jesus, not to Bush-Clinton-Yeltzin. We are grateful joint-heirs. |
{9} Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; Thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel. | They trust in the strength of their steel; show them it is but clay. |
{10} Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth. | Give the judges, the legislators, and the rulers wisdom. Let them obey You and glorify You. |
{11} Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling. | Let them respect You and know Your love. |
{12} Kiss the Son, lest He be angry, and ye perish from the way, when His wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in Him. | Give us Your blessing by making our hearts trust You. |
