Psalms 2
1 to/for what? to throng nation and people to mutter vain
(Why do the [leaders of] nations rage [against God]?/It is foolish for the nations to be angry [with God]) [RHQ]. (Why do people plan to rebel [against God] even though it is in vain?/It is useless for people to plan to rebel [against God]) [RHQ]!
2 to stand king land: country/planet and to rule to found unitedness upon LORD and upon anointed his
The kings of the nations prepare to revolt; the rulers plot together [to fight] against Yahweh and against his chosen king.
3 to tear [obj] bond their and to throw from us cord their

4 to dwell in/on/with heaven to laugh Lord to mock to/for them
But Yahweh, the one who sits [on his throne] in heaven, laughs [at them]; he ridicules those rulers.
5 then to speak: speak to(wards) them in/on/with face: anger his and in/on/with burning anger his to dismay them
Then, because he is angry with them, he rebukes them. He causes them to be terrified when [they realize] that he will furiously punish them.
6 and I to install king my upon Zion mountain: mount holiness my
[Yahweh says], “I have installed my king on Zion, my sacred hill [in Jerusalem].”
7 to recount to(wards) statute: decree LORD to say to(wards) me son: child my you(m. s.) I [the] day to beget you
[And his king says], “I will proclaim what Yahweh has decreed. He said to me, ‘[It is as though] you are my son; today I have declared to everyone that [it is as though] [MET] I am your father.
8 to ask from me and to give: make nation inheritance your and possession your end land: country/planet
Ask me to give you the nations, so that they belong to you [to rule over them permanently], and I will give them to you. [Even] the most remote nations will be yours.
9 to shatter them in/on/with tribe: staff iron like/as article/utensil to form: potter to shatter them
You will defeat them completely [MET]; you will [destroy them like people] smash a clay pot with an iron rod [SIM].’”
10 and now king be prudent to discipline to judge land: country/planet
So then, you kings and other rulers on the earth, act wisely! [Heed what Yahweh is] warning you!
11 to serve: minister [obj] LORD in/on/with fear and to rejoice in/on/with trembling
Serve Yahweh, fervently revering him; Rejoice [about what he has done for you], but tremble before him!
12 to kiss son: child lest be angry and to perish way: journey for to burn: burn like/as little face: anger his blessed all to seek refuge in/on/with him
Bow down humbly before his son! If you do not do that, Yahweh will be angry, and he will suddenly get rid of you. Do not forget that he can very quickly show that he is very angry! But he is very pleased with all those who request him to protect them [MET].
