Psalms 2

1 Why have the Gentiles raged, and the people devised vain things?

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

2 The kings of the earth stood up, and the princes met together, against the Lord and against his Christ.

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 let us cast away their yoke from us.

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

4 He that dwelleth in heaven shall laugh at them: and the Lord shall deride them.

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

5 Then shall he speak to them in his anger, and trouble them in his rage.

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

6 But I am appointed king by him over Sion his holy mountain, preaching his commandment.

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

7 The Lord hath said to me: Thou art my son, this day have I 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 the Gentiles for thy inheritance, and the utmost parts of the earth for thy possession.

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

9 Thou shalt rule them with a rod of iron, and shalt break them in pieces like a potter’s vessel.

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

10 And now, O ye kings, understand: receive instruction, you that judge the earth.

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

11 Serve ye the Lord with fear: and rejoice unto him with trembling.

Serve Yahweh with fear and rejoice with trembling.

12 Embrace discipline, lest at any time the Lord be angry, and you perish from the just way. When his wrath shall be kindled in a short time, blessed are all they that 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.
