Psalms 2

1 Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?

¿Por qué se amotinan los gentiles, y los pueblos piensan vanidad?

2 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying,

Estarán los reyes de la tierra, y príncipes consultarán unidos contra el SEÑOR, y contra su ungido, diciendo:

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

Rompamos sus coyundas, y echemos de nosotros sus cuerdas.

4 He that sits in the heavens shall laugh: the LORD shall have them in derision.

El que mora en los cielos se reirá; El Señor se burlará de ellos.

5 Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure.

Entonces hablará a ellos con su furor, y con su ira los conturbará.

6 Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.

Y yo envestí mi rey sobre Sion, el monte de mi santidad.

7 I will declare the decree: the LORD has said unto me, You are my Son; this day have I begotten you.

Yo recitaré el decreto. El SEÑOR me ha dicho: Mi hijo eres tú; yo te engendré hoy.

8 Ask of me, and I shall give you the heathen for your inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for your possession.

Pídeme, y te daré por heredad los gentiles, y por posesión tuya los términos de la tierra.

9 You shall break them with a rod of iron; you shall dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel.

Los quebrantarás con vara de hierro; como vaso de alfarero los desmenuzarás.

10 Be wise now therefore, O all of you kings: be instructed, all of you judges of the earth.

Y ahora, reyes, entended; admitid castigo, jueces de la tierra.

11 Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.

Servid al SEÑOR con temor; y alegraos con temblor.

12 Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and all of you perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.

Besad al Hijo, para que no se enoje, y perezcáis en el camino, cuando se encendiere de aquí a poco su furor. Bienaventurados todos los que en él confían.
