••• You should recognize and know "and use" God's Hebrew Name! It is יהוה and sounds like
to English speakers... God Himself wrote with his own finger on stone tablets He then gave to Moses. (Exo 31:18) Using the Diving Name of our Creator is a uniting force in this divided world! •••
Psalms 1:6-2:12 MWT ...for יהוה knows the way of the righteous, but the way of the wicked will perish. Psalms 2:1-6 MWT ...Why do the nations rage and the peoples plot in vain? (2) The kings of the earth have set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD and against his Anointed, saying, (3) "Let us burst their bonds apart and cast away their cords from us." (4) He who sits in the heavens laughs; the Lord holds them in derision. (5) Then he will speak to them in his wrath, and terrify them in his fury, saying, (6) "As for me, I have set my King on Zion, my holy mountain." (Rev 21:1-4; Psa 20:1-2) (7) I will tell of the decree: יהוה said to me, "You are my Son; today I have begotten you. (8) Ask of me, and I will make the nations your heritage, and the ends of the earth your possession. (9) You shall break them with a rod of iron and dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel." (10) Now therefore, O kings, be wise; be warned, O rulers of the earth. (11) Serve יהוה with fear, and rejoice with trembling. (12) Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and you perish in the way, for his wrath flares up quickly. Blessed are all who take refuge in him.
Psalms 1:6-2:12 GW ...The LORD knows the way of righteous people, but the way of wicked people will end. Psalms 2:1-6 GW ...Why do the nations gather together? Why do their people devise useless plots? (2) Kings take their stands. Rulers make plans together against the LORD and against his Messiah by saying, (3) "Let's break apart their chains and shake off their ropes." (4) The one enthroned in heaven laughs. The Lord makes fun of them. (5) Then he speaks to them in his anger. In his burning anger he terrifies them by saying, (6) "I have installed my own king on Zion, my holy mountain." (Rev 21:1-4; Psa 20:1-2) (7) I will announce the LORD's (יהוה's) decree. He said to me: "You are my Son. Today I have become your Father. (8) Ask me, and I will give you the nations as your inheritance and the ends of the earth as your own possession. (9) You will break them with an iron scepter. You will smash them to pieces like pottery." (10) Now, you kings, act wisely. Be warned, you rulers of the earth! (11) Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling. (12) Kiss the Son, or he will become angry and you will die on your way because his anger will burst into flames. Blessed is everyone who takes refuge in him.
Psalms 1:6-2:12 LITV For Jehovah (יהוה) is knowing the way of the righteous, and the way of the wicked shall perish. Psalms 2:1-6 LITV Why have the nations raged and the peoples are meditating on vanity? (2) The kings of the earth set themselves; yea, the rulers have plotted together against Jehovah and His Anointed, saying, (3) We will break their bands in two, and throw off their cords from us. (4) He who sits in the heavens shall laugh; the Lord shall mock at them. (5) Then He will speak to them in His anger, and He will terrify them in His wrath; (6) Yea, I have set My king on My holy mount on Zion. (Rev 21:1-4; Psa 20:1-2) (7) I will declare concerning the statute of Jehovah (יהוה): He said to Me, You are My Son. Today I have begotten You. (8) Ask of Me, and I will give the nations as Your inheritance; and the uttermost parts of the earth as Your possession. (9) You shall break them with a rod of iron; You shall dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel. (10) Now, then, be wise, O kings; be taught, O judges of the earth: (11) Serve Jehovah (יהוה) with fear; yea, rejoice with trembling. (12) Kiss the Son, lest He be angry, and you perish from the way, when His wrath is kindled but a little. Oh the blessings of all those who flee to Him for refuge!
Psalms 1:6-2:12 NWT ...For Jehovah (יהוה) is taking knowledge of the way of righteous ones, But the very way of wicked ones will perish. 2 Why have the nations been in tumult And the national groups themselves kept muttering an empty thing? 2 The kings of earth take their stand And high officials themselves have massed together as one Against Jehovah and against his anointed one, 3 [Saying:] “Let us tear their bands apart And cast their cords away from us!” 4 The very One sitting in the heavens will laugh; Jehovah himself will hold them in derision. 5 At that time he will speak to them in his anger And in his hot displeasure he will disturb them, 6 [Saying:] “I, even I, have installed my king Upon Zion, my holy mountain.” (Rev 21:1-4; Psa 20:1-2) 7 Let me refer to the decree of Jehovah; He has said to me: “You are my son; I, today, I have become your father. 8 Ask of me, that I may give nations as your inheritance And the ends of the earth as your own possession. 9 You will break them with an iron scepter, As though a potter’s vessel you will dash them to pieces.” 10 And now, O kings, exercise insight; Let yourselves be corrected, O judges of the earth. 11 Serve Jehovah with fear And be joyful with trembling. 12 Kiss the son, that He may not become incensed And YOU may not perish [from] the way, For his anger flares up easily. Happy are all those taking refuge in him.
