Psalms 2

Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition	Miqra 'al pi ha-Mesorah
1 Why do the nations conspire, and the peoples plot in vain?	1 לָמָּה רָגְשׁוּ גוֹיִםוּלְאֻמִּים יֶהְגּוּ־רִֽיק׃
2 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD and his anointed, saying,	2 יִתְיַצְּבוּ ׀ מַלְכֵי־אֶרֶץוְרוֹזְנִים נֽוֹסְדוּ־יָחַדעַל־יְהֹוָה וְעַל־מְשִׁיחֽוֹ׃
3 "Let us burst their bonds asunder, and cast their cords from us."	3 נְֽנַתְּקָה אֶת־מֽוֹסְרוֹתֵימוֹוְנַשְׁלִיכָה מִמֶּנּוּ עֲבֹתֵֽימוֹ׃
4 He who sits in the heavens laughs; the LORD has them in derision.	4 יוֹשֵׁב בַּשָּׁמַיִם יִשְׂחָקאֲדֹנָי יִלְעַג־לָֽמוֹ׃
5 Then he will speak to them in his wrath, and terrify them in his fury, saying,	5 אָז יְדַבֵּר אֵלֵימוֹ בְאַפּוֹוּֽבַחֲרוֹנוֹ יְבַהֲלֵֽמוֹ׃
6 "I have set my king on Zion, my holy hill."	6 וַאֲנִי נָסַכְתִּי מַלְכִּיעַל־צִיּוֹן הַר־קׇדְשִֽׁי׃
7 I will tell of the decree of the LORD: He said to me, "You are my son, today I have begotten you.	7 אֲסַפְּרָה אֶֽל חֹקיְֽהֹוָה אָמַר אֵלַי בְּנִי אַתָּהאֲנִי הַיּוֹם יְלִדְתִּֽיךָ׃
8 Ask of me, and I will make the nations your heritage, and the ends of the earth your possession.	8 שְׁאַל מִמֶּנִּי וְאֶתְּנָה גוֹיִם נַחֲלָתֶךָוַאֲחֻזָּתְךָ אַפְסֵי־אָֽרֶץ׃
9 You shall break them with a rod of iron, and dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel."	9 תְּרֹעֵם בְּשֵׁבֶט בַּרְזֶלכִּכְלִי יוֹצֵר תְּנַפְּצֵֽם׃
10 Now therefore, O kings, be wise; be warned, O rulers of the earth.	10 וְעַתָּה מְלָכִים הַשְׂכִּילוּהִוָּסְרוּ שֹׁפְטֵי אָֽרֶץ׃
11 Serve the LORD with fear, with trembling	11 עִבְדוּ אֶת־יְהֹוָה בְּיִרְאָהוְגִילוּ בִּרְעָדָֽה׃
12 kiss his feet, lest he be angry, and you perish in the way; for his wrath is quickly kindled. Blessed are all who take refuge in him.	12 נַשְּׁקוּ־בַרפֶּן־יֶאֱנַף ׀ וְתֹאבְדוּ דֶרֶךְכִּֽי־יִבְעַר כִּמְעַט אַפּוֹאַשְׁרֵי כׇּל־חוֹסֵי בֽוֹ׃
