Psalm 2:8-10
New Catholic Bible
8 Simply make the request of me,
and I will give you the nations as your inheritance,
and the ends of the earth as your possession.[a]
9 You will rule them with an iron scepter;
you will shatter them like a potter’s vessel.[b]
10 Therefore, O kings, pay heed;
take warning, O rulers of the earth.
