Capítulo 2

1 - Why do the nations conspire Hebrew; Septuagint [rage] and the peoples plot in vain?

2 - The kings of the earth rise up and the rulers band together against the Lord and against his anointed, saying,

3 - "Let us break their chains and throw off their shackles."

4 - The One enthroned in heaven laughs; the Lord scoffs at them.

5 - He rebukes them in his anger and terrifies them in his wrath, saying,

6 - "I have installed my king on Zion, my holy mountain."

7 - I will proclaim the Lord's decree: He said to me, "You are my son; today I have become your father.

8 - Ask me, and I will make the nations your inheritance, the ends of the earth your possession.

9 - You will break them with a rod of iron Or [will rule them with an iron scepter] (see Septuagint and Syriac); you will dash them to pieces like pottery."

10 - Therefore, you kings, be wise; be warned, you rulers of the earth.

11 - Serve the Lord with fear and celebrate his rule with trembling.

12 - Kiss his son, or he will be angry and your way will lead to your destruction, for his wrath can flare up in a moment. Blessed are all who take refuge in him.
