诗篇 2

1Why do nations assemble,and peoples plot vain things;

2kings of the earth take their stand,and regents intrigue togetheragainst the one anointed by GOD?

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

4The One who is enthroned in heaven laughs;my Sovereign mocks at them.

5Then [God] speaks to them in anger,terrifying them with divine rage,

6“But I have installed My kingon Zion, My holy mountain!”

7Let me tell of the decree: GOD said to me,“You are My son,I have fathered you this day.

8Ask it of Me,and I will make the nations your domain;your estate, the limits of the earth.

9You can smash them with an iron mace,shatter them like potter’s ware.”

10So now, O kings, be prudent;accept discipline, you rulers of the earth!

11Serve GOD in awe;tremble with fright,

12pay homage in good faith, lest [God] be angered, and your way be doomedin the mere flash of divine anger.Happy are all who take refuge in [God].
