Psalms 2

1 Why do the nations rage and the peoples plot in vain?

【默西亞必勝】萬邦為什麼囂張，眾民為什麼妄想？

2 The kings of the earth take their stand and the rulers gather together, against the LORD and against His Anointed One:

世上列民群集一堂，諸侯畢至聚首相商，反抗上主，反抗他的受傅者：

3 “Let us break Their chains and cast away Their cords.”

來！我們掙斷他們的綑綁，我們擺脫他們的繩韁！

4 The One enthroned in heaven laughs; the Lord taunts them.

坐於天上者在冷笑，我主對他們在熱嘲。

5 Then He rebukes them in His anger, and terrifies them in His fury:

在震怒中對他們發言，在氣焰中對他們喝道：

6 “I have installed My King on Zion, upon My holy mountain.”

我已祝聖我的君王，在熙雍我的聖山上。

7 I will proclaim the decree spoken to Me by the LORD: “You are My Son; today I have become Your Father.

我要傳報上主的聖旨：上主對我說：你是我的兒子，我今日生了你。

8 Ask Me, and I will make the nations Your inheritance, the ends of the earth Your possession.

你向我請求，我必將萬民賜你作產業，我必將八極賜你作領地。

9 You will break them with an iron scepter; You will shatter them like pottery.”

你必以鐵杖將他們粉碎，就如打破陶匠的瓦器。

10 Therefore be wise, O kings; be admonished, O judges of the earth.

眾王！你們現在應當自覺，大地掌權者！你們應受教：

11 Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.

應以敬愛之情事奉上主，戰戰兢兢向祂跪拜叩首；

12 Kiss the Son, lest He be angry and you perish in your rebellion, when His wrath ignites in an instant. Blessed are all who take refuge in Him.

以免祂發怒將你們滅於中途，因為祂的怒火發怒非常快速。凡一切投奔祂的人真是有福。
