Mazmur 2
1 Mengapa rusuh bangsa-bangsa, mengapa suku-suku bangsa mereka-reka perkara yang sia-sia?
Therefore did the heathen rage, and the nations imagine vain things?
2 Raja-raja dunia bersiap-siap dan para pembesar bermufakat bersama-sama melawan TUHAN dan yang diurapi-Nya:
The kings of the earth stood up, and the rulers gathered themselves together, against the Lord, and against his Christ;
3 "Marilah kita memutuskan belenggu-belenggu mereka dan membuang tali-tali mereka dari pada kita!"
[saying], Let us break through their bonds, and cast away their yoke from us.
4 Dia, yang bersemayam di sorga, tertawa; Tuhan mengolok-olok mereka.
He that dwells in the heavens shall laugh them to scorn, and the Lord shall mock them.
5 Maka berkatalah Ia kepada mereka dalam murka-Nya dan mengejutkan mereka dalam kehangatan amarah-Nya:
Then shall he speak to them in his anger, and trouble them in his fury.
6 "Akulah yang telah melantik raja-Ku di Sion, gunung-Ku yang kudus!"
But I have been made king by him on Sion his holy mountain,
7 Aku mau menceritakan tentang ketetapan TUHAN; Ia berkata kepadaku: "Anak-Ku engkau! Engkau telah Kuperanakkan pada hari ini.
declaring the ordinance of the Lord: the Lord said to me, You are my Son, today have I begotten you.
8 Mintalah kepada-Ku, maka bangsa-bangsa akan Kuberikan kepadamu menjadi milik pusakamu, dan ujung bumi menjadi kepunyaanmu.
Ask of me, and I will give you the heathen [for] your inheritance, and the ends of the earth [for] your possession.
9 Engkau akan meremukkan mereka dengan gada besi, memecahkan mereka seperti tembikar tukang periuk."
You shall rule them with a rod of iron; you shall dash them in pieces as a potter's vessel.
10 Oleh sebab itu, hai raja-raja, bertindaklah bijaksana, terimalah pengajaran, hai para hakim dunia!
Now therefore understand, you kings: be instructed, all you that judge the earth.
11 Beribadahlah kepada TUHAN dengan takut dan ciumlah kaki-Nya dengan gemetar,
Serve the Lord with fear, and rejoice in him with trembling.
12 supaya Ia jangan murka dan kamu binasa di jalan, sebab mudah sekali murka-Nya menyala. Berbahagialah semua orang yang berlindung pada-Nya!
Accept correction, lest at any time the Lord be angry, and you should perish from the righteous way: whenever his wrath shall be suddenly kindled, blessed are all they that trust in him.
