Psalms 2
1 Why are the nations in turmoil, and why do the peoples make plots that will fail?
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 take their stand together and the rulers conspire together against Yahweh and against his Messiah, saying,
disrumpamus vincula eorum et proiciamus a nobis iugum ipsorum
3 “Let us tear off the shackles they put on us and throw off their chains.”
qui habitat in caelis inridebit eos et Dominus subsannabit eos
4 He who sits in the heavens will sneer at them; the Lord mocks them.
tunc loquetur ad eos in ira sua et in furore suo conturbabit eos
5 Then he will speak to them in his anger and terrify them in his rage, saying,
ego autem constitutus sum rex ab eo super Sion montem sanctum eius praedicans praeceptum eius
6 “I myself have anointed my king on Zion, my holy mountain.”
Dominus dixit ad me filius meus es tu ego hodie genui te
7 I will announce a decree of Yahweh. He said to me, “You are my son! This day I have become your father.
postula a me et dabo tibi gentes hereditatem tuam et possessionem tuam terminos terrae
8 Ask me, and I will give you the nations for your inheritance and the farthermost regions of the earth for your possession.
reges eos in virga ferrea tamquam vas figuli confringes eos
9 You will break them with an iron rod; like a jar of a potter, you will smash them to pieces.”
et nunc reges intellegite erudimini qui iudicatis terram
10 So now, you kings, be warned; be corrected, you rulers of the earth.
servite Domino in timore et exultate ei in tremore
11 Worship Yahweh in fear and rejoice with trembling.
adprehendite disciplinam nequando irascatur Dominus et pereatis de via iusta
12 Kiss the son or he will be angry with you, and you will die in the way when his anger burns for just a moment. How blessed are all those who seek refuge in him.
cum exarserit in brevi ira eius beati omnes qui confidunt in eo
