Psalmi 2

VULGATA	CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN
1 Quare fremuerunt gentes, et populi meditati sunt inania ?	1 Why have the Gentiles been seething, and why have the people been pondering nonsense?
2 Astiterunt reges terræ, et principes convenerunt in unum adversus Dominum, et adversus christum ejus.	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 Dirumpamus vincula eorum, et projiciamus a nobis jugum ipsorum.	3 “Let us shatter their chains and cast their yoke away from us.”
4 Qui habitat in cælis irridebit eos, et Dominus subsannabit eos.	4 He who dwells in heaven will ridicule them, and the Lord will mock them.
5 Tunc loquetur ad eos in ira sua, et in furore suo conturbabit eos.	5 Then will he speak to them in his anger and trouble them with his fury.
6 Ego autem constitutus sum rex ab eo super Sion, montem sanctum ejus, prædicans præceptum ejus.	6 Yet I have been appointed king by him over Zion, his holy mountain, preaching his precepts.
7 Dominus dixit ad me : Filius meus es tu ; ego hodie genui te.	7 The Lord has said to me: You are my son, this day have I begotten you.
8 Postula a me, et dabo tibi gentes hæreditatem tuam, et possessionem tuam terminos terræ.	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 Reges eos in virga ferrea, et tamquam vas figuli confringes eos.	9 You will rule them with an iron rod, and you will shatter them like a potter’s vessel.
10 Et nunc, reges, intelligite ; erudimini, qui judicatis terram.	10 And now, O kings, understand. Receive instruction, you who judge the earth.
11 Servite Domino in timore, et exsultate ei cum tremore.	11 Serve the Lord in fear, and exult in him with trembling.
12 Apprehendite disciplinam, nequando irascatur Dominus, et pereatis de via justa.	12 Embrace discipline, lest at any time the Lord might become angry, and you would perish from the way of the just.
13 Cum exarserit in brevi ira ejus, beati omnes qui confidunt in eo.	13 Though his wrath can flare up in a short time, blessed are all those who trust in him.
