Psalms 2

1 Why are the nations in tumultuous agitation, and [why] do the peoples meditate a vain thing?

Why? do they plot nations and peoples do they devise? vanity.

2 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the princes plot together, against Jehovah and against his anointed:

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 bonds asunder, and cast away their cords from us!

Let us tear off fetters their and let us throw away from us ropes their.

4 He that dwelleth in the heavens shall laugh, the Lord shall have them in derision.

[the one who] sits In the heavens he laughs [the] Lord he mocks them.

5 Then will he speak to them in his anger, and in his fierce displeasure will he terrify them:

Then he speaks to them in anger his and in fury his he terrifies them.

6 And I have anointed my king upon Zion, the hill of my holiness.

And I I have installed king my on Zion [the] mountain of holiness my.

7 I will declare the decree: Jehovah hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; I this day have begotten thee.

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 of me, and I will give thee nations for an inheritance, and for thy possession the ends of the earth:

Ask from me so let me make nations inheritance your and possession your [the] ends of [the] earth.

9 Thou shalt break them with a sceptre of iron, as a potter's vessel thou shalt dash them in pieces.

You will break them with a rod of iron like a vessel of a potter you will smash them.

10 And now, O kings, be ye wise, be admonished, ye judges of the earth.

And therefore O kings act prudently let yourselves be instructed O rulers of [the] earth.

11 Serve Jehovah with fear, and rejoice with trembling.

Serve Yahweh with fear and rejoice with trembling.

12 Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish in the way, though his anger burn but a little. Blessed are all who have their trust 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.
