1 Perché le genti congiurano
perché invano cospirano i popoli?
1 Why have the Gentiles been seething, and why have the people been pondering nonsense?
2 Insorgono i re della terra
e i principi congiurano insieme
contro il Signore e contro il suo Messia:
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 "Spezziamo le loro catene,
gettiamo via i loro legami".
3 “Let us shatter their chains and cast their yoke away from us.”
4 Se ne ride chi abita i cieli,
li schernisce dall'alto il Signore.
4 He who dwells in heaven will ridicule them, and the Lord will mock them.
5 Egli parla loro con ira,
li spaventa nel suo sdegno:
5 Then will he speak to them in his anger and trouble them with his fury.
6 "Io l'ho costituito mio sovrano
sul Sion mio santo monte".

6 Yet I have been appointed king by him over Zion, his holy mountain, preaching his precepts.
7 Annunzierò il decreto del Signore.
Egli mi ha detto: "Tu sei mio figlio,
io oggi ti ho generato.
7 The Lord has said to me: You are my son, this day have I begotten you.
8 Chiedi a me, ti darò in possesso le genti
e in dominio i confini della terra.
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 Le spezzerai con scettro di ferro,
come vasi di argilla le frantumerai".

9 You will rule them with an iron rod, and you will shatter them like a potter’s vessel.
10 E ora, sovrani, siate saggi
istruitevi, giudici della terra;
10 And now, O kings, understand. Receive instruction, you who judge the earth.
11 servite Dio con timore
e con tremore esultate;
11 Serve the Lord in fear, and exult in him with trembling.
12 che non si sdegni e voi perdiate la via.
Improvvisa divampa la sua ira.
Beato chi in lui si rifugia.		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.
