Psalms 2

NEW JERUSALEM	KING JAMES BIBLE
1 Why this uproar among the nations, this impotent muttering of the peoples?	1 Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?
2 Kings of the earth take up position, princes plot together against Yahweh and his anointed,	2 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying,
3 'Now let us break their fetters! Now let us throw off their bonds!'	3 Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.
4 He who is enthroned in the heavens laughs, Yahweh makes a mockery of them,	4 He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision.
5 then in his anger rebukes them, in his rage he strikes them with terror.	5 Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure.
6 'I myself have anointed my king on Zion my holy mountain.'	6 Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.
7 I wil proclaim the decree of Yahweh: He said to me, 'You are my son, today have I fathered you.	7 I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee.
8 Ask of me, and I shal give you the nations as your birthright, the whole wide world as your possession.	8 Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.
9 With an iron sceptre you wil break them, shatter them like so many pots.'	9 Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel.
10 So now, you kings, come to your senses, you earthly rulers, learn your lesson!	10 Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth.
11 In fear be submissive to Yahweh;	11 Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.
12 with trembling kiss his feet, lest he be angry and your way come to nothing, for his fury flares up in amoment. How blessed are al who take refuge in him!	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.
