Psalms 2

1 Therefore did the heathen rage, and the nations imagine vain things?

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 stood up, and the rulers gathered themselves together, against the Lord, and against his Christ;

disrumpamus vincula eorum et proiciamus a nobis iugum ipsorum

3 [saying], Let us break through their bonds, and cast away their yoke from us.

qui habitat in caelis inridebit eos et Dominus subsannabit eos

4 He that dwells in the heavens shall laugh them to scorn, and the Lord shall mock them.

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

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

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

6 But I have been made king by him on Sion his holy mountain,

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

7 declaring the ordinance of the Lord: the Lord said to me, You are my Son, today have I begotten you.

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

8 Ask of me, and I will give you the heathen [for] your inheritance, and the ends of the earth [for] your possession.

reges eos in virga ferrea tamquam vas figuli confringes eos

9 You shall rule them with a rod of iron; you shall dash them in pieces as a potter's vessel.

et nunc reges intellegite erudimini qui iudicatis terram

10 Now therefore understand, you kings: be instructed, all you that judge the earth.

servite Domino in timore et exultate ei in tremore

11 Serve the Lord with fear, and rejoice in him with trembling.

adprehendite disciplinam nequando irascatur Dominus et pereatis de via iusta

12 Accept correction, lest at any time the Lord be angry, and you should perish from the righteous way: whenever his wrath shall be suddenly kindled, blessed are all they that trust in him.

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