Psalm 2: Word-for-Word

[Intro]:Em C x2

[Verse 1]:Em
 Why do the nations rage and the peoples plot in vain?
    C
The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together,
Em
 Against the Lord and against his Anointed, saying,
 C
“Let us burst their bonds apart and cast away their cords from us.”

[Interlude]:Em C

[Pre-Chorus 1]:Am                 Em                   G                     D
He who sits in the heavens laughs; the Lord holds them in derision.
     Am                 Em                     G                  D
Then he will speak to them in his wrath, and terrify them in his fury, saying:

[Chorus]:        C           G              D        Em
"As for Me, I have set my King on Zion, my Holy Hill."
        C          G              D        Em       D
...For Me, I have set my King on Zion, My Holy Hill.

[Pre-Chorus 2]:Am              Em        G          D
I will tell of the decree, The Lord said to me,
     Am            Em G          D
“You are my Son, today I have begotten you.”
Am            Em                G            D
Ask of me, and I will make the nations your heritage,
        Am          Em   G         D
And the ends of the earth your possession.
Am                   Em            G                  D
You shall break them with a rod of iron and dash them into pieces,
Am       Em       G   D
 Like a potter's vessel.”

[Chorus]:        C           G              D        Em   D
"As for Me, I have set my King on Zion, my Holy Hill."
        C          G              D
...For Me, I have set my King on Zion.

[Interlude]:Em C

[Verse 2]:Em                                                         C
 Now therefore, O kings, be wise; be warned, rulers of the earth,
                         D
Serve the Lord with fear, and rejoice with trembling.
Em                                                    C
Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and you perish in the way,

For his wrath is quickly kindled,
                     D
Blessed are all who take refuge in him.
Em                        C
  ... who take refuge in him.
