Psalms 2

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

¿POR qué se amotinan las gentes, y los pueblos piensan vanidad?

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

Estarán los reyes de la tierra, y príncipes consultarán unidos contra Jehová, y contra su ungido, [diciendo]:

3 Let us break their bonds asunder: and let us cast away their yoke from us.

Rompamos sus coyundas, y echemos de nosotros sus cuerdas.

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

El que mora en los cielos se reirá; el Señor se burlará de ellos.

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

Entonces hablará á ellos en su furor, y turbarálos con su ira.

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

Yo empero he puesto mi rey sobre Sión, monte de mi santidad.

7 The Lord hath said to me: Thou art my son, this day have I begotten thee.

Yo publicaré el decreto: Jehová me ha dicho: Mi hijo eres tú; yo te engendré hoy.

8 Ask of me, and I will give thee the Gentiles for thy inheritance, and the utmost parts of the earth for thy possession.

Pídeme, y te daré por heredad las gentes, y por posesión tuya los términos de la tierra.

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

Quebrantarlos has con vara de hierro: como vaso de alfarero los desmenuzarás.

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

Y ahora, reyes, entended: admitid corrección, jueces de la tierra.

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

Servid á Jehová con temor, y alegraos con temblor.

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.

Besad al Hijo, porque no se enoje, y perezcáis en el camino, cuando se encendiere un poco su furor. Bienaventurados todos los que en él confían.
