Psalms 2

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

Why? do they plot nations and peoples do they devise? vanity.

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

They take their stand - [the] kings of [the] earth and rulers they seat themselves together on Yahweh and on anointed his.

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

Let us tear off fetters their and let us throw away from us ropes their.

4 He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision.

[the one who] sits In the heavens he laughs [the] Lord he mocks them.

5 Then shall he speak to them in his wrath, and trouble them in his great displeasure.

Then he speaks to them in anger his and in fury his he terrifies them.

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

And I I have installed king my on Zion [the] mountain of holiness my.

7 I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said to me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee.

I will recount concerning [the] decree of Yahweh he said to me [are] son my you I this day I have begotten you.

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

Ask from me so let me make nations inheritance your and possession your [the] ends of [the] earth.

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

You will break them with a rod of iron like a vessel of a potter you will smash them.

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

And therefore O kings act prudently let yourselves be instructed O rulers of [the] earth.

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

Serve Yahweh with fear and rejoice with trembling.

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

Kiss [the] son lest he should be angry - and you may perish way if it burns like a little anger his how blessed! [are] all [those who] seek refuge in him.
