תהילים ב

Why do nations assemble,
and peoples plot vain things;

kings of the earth take their stand,
and regents intrigue together
against the one anointed by GOD?

“Let us break the cords of their yoke,
shake off their ropes from us!”

The One who is enthroned in heaven laughs;
my Sovereign mocks at them.

Then [God] speaks to them in anger,
terrifying them with divine rage,

“But I have installed My king
on Zion, My holy mountain!”

Let me tell of the decree:
GOD said to me,
“You are My son,
I have fathered you this day.

Ask it of Me,
and I will make the nations your domain;
your estate, the limits of the earth.

You can smash them with an iron mace,
shatter them like potter’s ware.”

So now, O kings, be prudent;
accept discipline, you rulers of the earth!

Serve GOD in awe;
tremble with fright,

pay homage in good faith,
lest [God] be angered, and your way be doomed
in the mere flash of divine anger.
Happy are all who take refuge in [God].
