Psalms 2

1 Why have nations assembled tumultuously? And peoples meditate vanity?

外邦為甚麼爭鬧？ 萬民為甚麼謀算虛妄的事？

2 Kings of the earth station themselves, and princes have been united together, against YHWH, and against His Messiah:

世上的君王一齊起來， 臣宰一同商議， 要敵擋耶和華並他的受膏者，

3 “Let us draw off Their cords, And cast Their thick bands from us.”

說：我們要掙開他們的捆綁， 脫去他們的繩索。

4 He who is sitting in the heavens laughs, The Lord mocks at them.

那坐在天上的必發笑； 主必嗤笑他們。

5 Then He speaks to them in His anger, and in His wrath He troubles them:

那時，他要在怒中責備他們， 在烈怒中驚嚇他們，

6 “And I have anointed My King, On Zion—My holy hill.”

說：我已經立我的君 在錫安－我的聖山上了。

7 I declare concerning a statute: YHWH said to me, “You [are] My Son, today I have brought You forth.

受膏者說：我要傳聖旨。 耶和華曾對我說：你是我的兒子， 我今日生你。

8 Ask of Me and I give nations [as] Your inheritance, And the ends of the earth [for] Your possession.

你求我，我就將列國賜你為基業， 將地極賜你為田產。

9 You rule them with a scepter of iron, You crush them as a vessel of a potter.”

你必用鐵杖打破他們； 你必將他們如同窯匠的瓦器摔碎。

10 And now, O kings, act wisely, Be instructed, O judges of earth,

現在，你們君王應當省悟！ 你們世上的審判官該受管教！

11 Serve YHWH with fear, And rejoice with trembling.

當存畏懼事奉耶和華， 又當存戰兢而快樂。

12 Kiss the Chosen One [[or Son]], lest He is angry, And you perish [from] the way, When His anger burns but a little, O the blessedness of all trusting in Him!

當以嘴親子，恐怕他發怒， 你們便在道中滅亡， 因為他的怒氣快要發作。 凡投靠他的，都是有福的。
