Salmos 2

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

Therefore did the heathen rage, and the nations imagine vain things?

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

The kings of the earth stood up, and the rulers gathered themselves together, against the Lord, and against his Christ;

3 Rompamos sus coyundas: y echemos de nosotros sus cuerdas.

[saying], Let us break through their bonds, and cast away their yoke from us.

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

He that dwells in the heavens shall laugh them to scorn, and the Lord shall mock them.

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

Then shall he speak to them in his anger, and trouble them in his fury.

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

But I have been made king by him on Sion his holy mountain,

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

declaring the ordinance of the Lord: the Lord said to me, You are my Son, today have I begotten you.

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

Ask of me, and I will give you the heathen [for] your inheritance, and the ends of the earth [for] your possession.

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

You shall rule them with a rod of iron; you shall dash them in pieces as a potter's vessel.

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

Now therefore understand, you kings: be instructed, all you that judge the earth.

11 Servíd a Jehová con temor: y alegráos con temblor.

Serve the Lord with fear, and rejoice in him with trembling.

12 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.

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.
