Salmos 2

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

Why do the nations rage, and the peoples plot in vain?

2 Estarán los reyes de la tierra, y príncipes consultarán unidos contra Jehová, y contra su ungido, [diciendo]:

The kings of the earth take a stand, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his Anointed:

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

"Let's tear off their shackles, and throw off their ropes from us."

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

The one who sits in the heavens laughs. The LORD scoffs at them.

5 Entonces hablará á ellos en su furor, y turbarálos con su ira.

Then he will speak to them in his anger, and terrify them in his wrath:

6 Yo empero he puesto mi rey sobre Sión, monte de mi santidad.

"But I myself have installed my king on Zion, my holy mountain."

7 Yo publicaré el decreto: Jehová me ha dicho: Mi hijo eres tú; yo te engendré hoy.

I will tell of the decree. The LORD said to me, "You are my son. Today I have become your father.

8 Pídeme, y te daré por heredad las gentes, y por posesión tuya los términos de la tierra.

Ask of me, and I will give the nations as your inheritance, and the farthest parts of the earth for your possession.

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

You shall rule them with an iron scepter. You shall dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel."

10 Y ahora, reyes, entended: admitid corrección, jueces de la tierra.

Now therefore, you kings, be wise; receive correction, you judges of the earth.

11 Servid á Jehová con temor, y alegraos con temblor.

Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.

12 Besad al Hijo, porque no se enoje, y perezcáis en el camino, cuando se encendiere un poco su furor. Bienaventurados todos los que en él confían.

Do homage in purity, lest he be angry, and you perish in the way, when his anger is suddenly kindled. Blessed are all those who take refuge in him.
