תהילים 2

1 לָמָּה רָגְשׁוּ גוֹיִם וּלְאֻמִּים יֶהְגּוּ־רִֽיק׃

Why are the nations in an uproar? And why do the peoples mutter in vain?

2 יִתְיַצְּבוּ ׀ מַלְכֵי־אֶרֶץ וְרוֹזְנִים נֽוֹסְדוּ־יָחַד עַל־יְהֹוָה וְעַל־מְשִׁיחֽוֹ׃

The kings of the earth stand up, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against His anointed:

3 נְֽנַתְּקָה אֶת־מֽוֹסְרוֹתֵימוֹ וְנַשְׁלִיכָה מִמֶּנּוּ עֲבֹתֵֽימוֹ׃

'Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.'

4 יוֹשֵׁב בַּשָּׁמַיִם יִשְׂחָק אֲדֹנָי יִלְעַג־לָֽמוֹ׃

He that sitteth in heaven laugheth, the Lord hath them in derision.

5 אָז יְדַבֵּר אֵלֵימוֹ בְאַפּוֹ וּֽבַחֲרוֹנוֹ יְבַהֲלֵֽמוֹ׃

Then will He speak unto them in His wrath, and affright them in His sore displeasure:

6 וַאֲנִי נָסַכְתִּי מַלְכִּי עַל־צִיּוֹן הַר־קׇדְשִֽׁי׃

'Truly it is I that have established My king upon Zion, My holy mountain.'

7 אֲסַפְּרָה אֶֽל ־ חֹק יְֽהֹוָה אָמַר אֵלַי בְּנִי אַתָּה אֲנִי הַיּוֹם יְלִדְתִּֽיךָ׃

I will tell of the decree: the LORD said unto me: 'Thou art My son, this day have I begotten thee.

8 שְׁאַל מִמֶּנִּי וְאֶתְּנָה גוֹיִם נַחֲלָתֶךָ וַאֲחֻזָּתְךָ אַפְסֵי־אָֽרֶץ׃

Ask of Me, and I will give the nations for thine inheritance, and the ends of the earth for thy possession.

9 תְּרֹעֵם בְּשֵׁבֶט בַּרְזֶל כִּכְלִי יוֹצֵר תְּנַפְּצֵֽם׃

Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel.'

10 וְעַתָּה מְלָכִים הַשְׂכִּילוּ הִוָּסְרוּ שֹׁפְטֵי אָֽרֶץ׃

Now therefore, O ye kings, be wise; be admonished, ye judges of the earth.

11 עִבְדוּ אֶת־יְהֹוָה בְּיִרְאָה וְגִילוּ בִּרְעָדָֽה׃

Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.

12 נַשְּׁקוּ־בַר פֶּן־יֶאֱנַף ׀ וְתֹאבְדוּ דֶרֶךְ כִּֽי־יִבְעַר כִּמְעַט אַפּוֹ אַשְׁרֵי כׇּל־חוֹסֵי בֽוֹ׃

Do homage in purity, lest He be angry, and ye perish in the way, when suddenly His wrath is kindled. Happy are all they that take refuge in Him.
