Livre des Psaumes 2

JERUSALEM	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Pourquoi ces nations qui remuent, ces peuples qui murmurent en vain?	1 Why have the Gentiles been seething, and why have the people been pondering nonsense?
2 Des rois de la terre s'insurgent, des princes conspirent contre Yahvé et contre son Messie:	2 The kings of the earth have stood up, and the leaders have joined together as one, against the Lord and against his Christ:
3 "Faisons sauter leurs entraves, débarrassons-nous de leurs liens! "	3 “Let us shatter their chains and cast their yoke away from us.”
4 Celui qui siège dans les cieux s'en amuse, Yahvé les tourne en dérision.	4 He who dwells in heaven will ridicule them, and the Lord will mock them.
5 Puis dans sa colère il leur parle, dans sa fureur il les épouvante:	5 Then will he speak to them in his anger and trouble them with his fury.
6 "C'est moi qui ai sacré mon roi sur Sion, ma montagne sainte."	6 Yet I have been appointed king by him over Zion, his holy mountain, preaching his precepts.
7 J'énoncerai le décret de Yahvé: Il m'a dit: "Tu es mon fils, moi, aujourd'hui, je t'ai engendré.	7 The Lord has said to me: You are my son, this day have I begotten you.
8 Demande, et je te donne les nations pour héritage, pour domaine les extrémités de la terre;	8 Ask of me and I will give to you: the Gentiles for your inheritance, and the ends of the earth for your possession.
9 tu les briseras avec un sceptre de fer, comme vases de potier tu les casseras."	9 You will rule them with an iron rod, and you will shatter them like a potter’s vessel.
10 Et maintenant, rois, comprenez, corrigez-vous, juges de la terre!	10 And now, O kings, understand. Receive instruction, you who judge the earth.
11 Servez Yahvé avec crainte,	11 Serve the Lord in fear, and exult in him with trembling.
12 baisez ses pieds avec tremblement; qu'il se fâche, vous vous perdez en chemin: d'un coup flambe sacolère. Heureux qui s'abrite en lui!	12 Embrace discipline, lest at any time the Lord might become angry, and you would perish from the way of the just.
	13 Though his wrath can flare up in a short time, blessed are all those who trust in him.
