Psalms 2
1 Why are the nations in an uproar? And why do the peoples mutter in vain?
Why? do they plot nations and peoples do they devise? vanity.
2 The kings of the earth stand up, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, 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 bands 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 sitteth in heaven laugheth, the Lord hath them in derision.
[the one who] sits In the heavens he laughs [the] Lord he mocks them.
5 Then will He speak unto them in His wrath, and affright them in His sore displeasure:
Then he speaks to them in anger his and in fury his he terrifies them.
6 'Truly it is I that have established My king upon Zion, My holy mountain.'
And I I have installed king my on Zion [the] mountain of holiness my.
7 I will tell of the decree: the LORD said unto 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 the nations for thine inheritance, and the ends 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 break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash 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 Now therefore, O ye kings, be 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 the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.
Serve Yahweh with fear and rejoice with trembling.
12 Do homage in purity, lest He be angry, and ye perish in the way, when suddenly His wrath is kindled. Happy are all they that 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.
