Psalm 2

Why do the nations conspire and the peoples plot in vain?
The kings of the earth take their stand and the rulers gather together against the LORD and against his Anointed One.
"Let us break their chains," they say, "and throw off their fetters."

The One enthroned in heaven laughs; the Lord scoffs at them.  Then he rebukes them in his anger and terrifies them in his wrath, saying, "I have  installed my King on Zion, my holy hill."  

I will proclaim the decree of the LORD:
He said to me, "You are my Son; today I have become your Father.
Ask of me, and I will make the nations your inheritance, the ends of the earth your possession.
You will rule them with an iron scepter; you will dash them to pieces like pottery."

Therefore you kings, be wise; be warned, you rulers of the earth.  Serve the LORD with fear and rejoice with trembling.  Kiss the Son, lest he be angry and you be destroyed in your way, for his wrath can flare up in a moment. 

Blessed are all who take refuge in him.

NIV



Prayer

Lord you are enthroned in heaven,
beyond our comprehension,
beyond our plans and schemes.

You LORD are the Almighty,
truly the King of kings and Lord of lords,
You hold all things together just because of who you are,
We will proclaim your greatness and your authority in our lives.

Father we ask for the salvation of our family and friends,
open their eyes gently to see that you have provided from yourself;
Meet our needs that we would live in security and peace,
Teach us to learn your ways and to live in your will,

We bless your name as we take refuge in you.

Amen.
