< Psalms 2 >

1 Why do the nations rage and the peoples plot in vain?
Why? do they plot nations and peoples do they devise? vanity.
2 The kings of the earth take their stand and the rulers gather together, against the LORD and against His Anointed One:
They take their stand - [the] kings of [the] earth and rulers they seat themselves together on Yahweh and on anointed his.
3 “Let us break Their chains and cast away Their cords.”
Let us tear off fetters their and let us throw away from us ropes their.
4 The One enthroned in heaven laughs; the Lord taunts them.
[the one who] sits In the heavens he laughs [the] Lord he mocks them.
5 Then He rebukes them in His anger, and terrifies them in His fury:
Then he speaks to them in anger his and in fury his he terrifies them.
6 “I have installed My King on Zion, upon My holy mountain.”
And I I have installed king my on Zion [the] mountain of holiness my.
7 I will proclaim the decree spoken to Me by the LORD: “You are My Son; today I have become Your Father.
I will recount concerning [the] decree of Yahweh he said to me [are] son my you I this day I have begotten you.
8 Ask Me, and I will make the nations Your inheritance, the ends of the earth Your possession.
Ask from me so let me make nations inheritance your and possession your [the] ends of [the] earth.
9 You will break them with an iron scepter; You will shatter them like pottery.”
You will break them with a rod of iron like a vessel of a potter you will smash them.
10 Therefore be wise, O kings; be admonished, O judges of the earth.
And therefore O kings act prudently let yourselves be instructed O rulers of [the] earth.
11 Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.
Serve Yahweh with fear and rejoice with trembling.
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.
Kiss [the] son lest he should be angry - and you may perish way if it burns like a little anger his how blessed! [are] all [those who] seek refuge in him.
