Psalms 2

1 Why doe the heathen rage, and the people murmure in vaine?

psalmus David quare fremuerunt gentes et populi meditati sunt inania adstiterunt reges terrae et principes convenerunt in unum adversus Dominum et adversus christum eius diapsalma

2 The Kings of the earth band themselues, and the princes are assembled together against the Lord, and against his Christ.

disrumpamus vincula eorum et proiciamus a nobis iugum ipsorum

3 Let vs breake their bands, and cast their cordes from vs.

qui habitat in caelis inridebit eos et Dominus subsannabit eos

4 But he that dwelleth in the heauen, shall laugh: the Lord shall haue them in derision.

tunc loquetur ad eos in ira sua et in furore suo conturbabit eos

5 Then shall hee speake vnto them in his wrath, and vexe them in his sore displeasure, saying,

ego autem constitutus sum rex ab eo super Sion montem sanctum eius praedicans praeceptum eius

6 Euen I haue set my King vpon Zion mine holy mountaine.

Dominus dixit ad me filius meus es tu ego hodie genui te

7 I will declare the decree: that is, the Lord hath said vnto me, Thou art my Sonne: this day haue I begotten thee.

postula a me et dabo tibi gentes hereditatem tuam et possessionem tuam terminos terrae

8 Aske of me, and I shall giue thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the endes of the earth for thy possession.

reges eos in virga ferrea tamquam vas figuli confringes eos

9 Thou shalt krush them with a scepter of yron, and breake them in pieces like a potters vessell.

et nunc reges intellegite erudimini qui iudicatis terram

10 Be wise nowe therefore, ye Kings: be learned ye Iudges of the earth.

servite Domino in timore et exultate ei in tremore

11 Serue the Lord in feare, and reioyce in trembling.

adprehendite disciplinam nequando irascatur Dominus et pereatis de via iusta

12 Kisse the sonne, least he be angry, and ye perish in the way, when his wrath shall suddenly burne. blessed are all that trust in him.

cum exarserit in brevi ira eius beati omnes qui confidunt in eo
