Psalms 2

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	EL LIBRO DEL PUEBLO DE DIOS
1 Why have the Gentiles been seething, and why have the people been pondering nonsense?	1 ¿Por qué se amotinan las naciones y los pueblos hacen vanos proyectos?
2 The kings of the earth have stood up, and the leaders have joined together as one, against the Lord and against his Christ:	2 Los reyes de la tierra se sublevan, y los príncipes conspiran contra el Señor y contra su Ungido:
3 “Let us shatter their chains and cast their yoke away from us.”	3 «Rompamos sus ataduras, librémonos de su yugo».
4 He who dwells in heaven will ridicule them, and the Lord will mock them.	4 El que reina en el cielo se sonríe; el Señor se burla de ellos.
5 Then will he speak to them in his anger and trouble them with his fury.	5 Luego los increpa airadamente y los aterra con su furor:
6 Yet I have been appointed king by him over Zion, his holy mountain, preaching his precepts.	6 «Yo mismo establecí a mi Rey en Sión, mi santa Montaña».
7 The Lord has said to me: You are my son, this day have I begotten you.	7 Voy a proclamar el decreto del Señor: El me ha dicho: «Tú eres mi hijo, yo te he engendrado hoy
8 Ask of me and I will give to you: the Gentiles for your inheritance, and the ends of the earth for your possession.	8 Pídeme, y te daré las naciones como herencia, y como propiedad, los confines de la tierra.
9 You will rule them with an iron rod, and you will shatter them like a potter’s vessel.	9 Los quebrarás con un cetro de hierro, los destrozarás como a un vaso de arcilla»
10 And now, O kings, understand. Receive instruction, you who judge the earth.	10 Por eso, reyes, sean prudentes; aprendan, gobernantes de la tierra.
11 Serve the Lord in fear, and exult in him with trembling.	11 Sirvan al Señor con temor;
12 Embrace discipline, lest at any time the Lord might become angry, and you would perish from the way of the just.	12 temblando, ríndanle homenaje, no sea que se irrite y vayan a la ruina, porque su enojo se enciende en un instante. ¡Felices los que se refugian en él!
13 Though his wrath can flare up in a short time, blessed are all those who trust in him.
