Psalms 2

1 Why have the Gentiles been seething, and why have the people been pondering nonsense?

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

2 The kings of the earth have stood up, and the leaders have joined together as one, against the Lord and against his Christ:

Estarán los reyes de la tierra, y príncipes consultarán en uno contra Jehová, y contra su ungido, diciendo:

3 “Let us shatter their chains and cast their yoke away from us.”

Rompamos sus coyundas: y echemos de nosotros sus cuerdas.

4 He who dwells in heaven will ridicule them, and the Lord will mock them.

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

5 Then will he speak to them in his anger and trouble them with his fury.

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

6 Yet I have been appointed king by him over Zion, his holy mountain, preaching his precepts.

Y yo te establecí mi rey sobre Sión, el monte de mi santidad.

7 The Lord has said to me: You are my son, this day have I begotten you.

Yo recitaré el decreto. Jehová me dijo: Mi hijo eres tú: yo te engendré hoy.

8 Ask of me and I will give to you: the Gentiles for your inheritance, and the ends of the earth for your possession.

Demándame, y yo daré las gentes por tu heredad, y por tu posesión los cabos de la tierra.

9 You will rule them with an iron rod, and you will shatter them like a potter’s vessel.

Quebrantarlos has con vara de hierro: como vaso de ollero los desmenuzarás.

10 And now, O kings, understand. Receive instruction, you who judge the earth.

Y ahora reyes entendéd: admitid consejo jueces de la tierra.

11 Serve the Lord in fear, and exult in him with trembling.

Servíd a Jehová con temor: y alegráos con temblor.

12 Embrace discipline, lest at any time the Lord might become angry, and you would perish from the way of the just. Though his wrath can flare up in a short time, blessed are all those who trust in him.

Besád al hijo, porque no se enoje, y perezcáis en el camino: cuando se encendiere un poco su furor, bienaventurados todos los que confían en él.
