2 The kings of the earth take a stand, and the rulers take counsel together, against YHWH, 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's tear off their shackles, and throw off their ropes from us."
Let us tear off fetters their and let us throw away from us ropes their.
4 The one who sits in the heavens laughs. YHWH scoffs at them.
[the one who] sits In the heavens he laughs [the] Lord he mocks them.
5 Then he will speak to them in his anger, and terrify them in his wrath:
Then he speaks to them in anger his and in fury his he terrifies them.
6 "But I myself have installed my king on 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. YHWH said to me, "You are my son. Today I have become your father.
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 as your inheritance, and the farthest parts of the earth for your possession.
Ask from me so let me make nations inheritance your and possession your [the] ends of [the] earth.
9 You shall rule them with an iron scepter. You shall 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, you kings, be wise; receive correction, you judges of the earth.
And therefore O kings act prudently let yourselves be instructed O rulers of [the] earth.
11 Serve YHWH with fear, and rejoice with trembling.
Serve Yahweh with fear and rejoice with trembling.
12 Do homage in purity, lest he be angry, and you perish in the way, when his anger is suddenly kindled. Blessed are all those who 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.
