Psalms 2

1 Why? do they plot nations and peoples do they devise? vanity.

Quare fremuerunt gentes, et populi meditati sunt inania? Astiterunt reges terræ, et principes convenerunt in unum adversus Dominum, et adversus christum ejus.

2 They take their stand - [the] kings of [the] earth and rulers they seat themselves together on Yahweh and on anointed his.

Dirumpamus vincula eorum, et projiciamus a nobis jugum ipsorum.

3 Let us tear off fetters their and let us throw away from us ropes their.

Qui habitat in cælis irridebit eos, et Dominus subsannabit eos.

4 [the one who] sits In the heavens he laughs [the] Lord he mocks them.

Tunc loquetur ad eos in ira sua, et in furore suo conturbabit eos.

5 Then he speaks to them in anger his and in fury his he terrifies them.

Ego autem constitutus sum rex ab eo super Sion, montem sanctum ejus, prædicans præceptum ejus.

6 And I I have installed king my on Zion [the] mountain of holiness my.

Dominus dixit ad me: Filius meus es tu; ego hodie genui te.

7 I will recount concerning [the] decree of Yahweh he said to me [are] son my you I this day I have begotten you.

Postula a me, et dabo tibi gentes hæreditatem tuam, et possessionem tuam terminos terræ.

8 Ask from me so let me make nations inheritance your and possession your [the] ends of [the] earth.

Reges eos in virga ferrea, et tamquam vas figuli confringes eos.

9 You will break them with a rod of iron like a vessel of a potter you will smash them.

Et nunc, reges, intelligite; erudimini, qui judicatis terram.

10 And therefore O kings act prudently let yourselves be instructed O rulers of [the] earth.

Servite Domino in timore, et exsultate ei cum tremore.

11 Serve Yahweh with fear and rejoice with trembling.

Apprehendite disciplinam, nequando irascatur Dominus, et pereatis de via justa.

12 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.

Cum exarserit in brevi ira ejus, beati omnes qui confidunt in eo.
