←Prev   Psalms 2 as rendered by/in  Next→ 


2:1  Why do the Goyim rage, and the Amim (peoples) imagine a vain thing?
2:2  The Malchei Eretz rise up in rebellion, and the rulers take counsel together against Hashem and against His Moshiach, saying,
2:3  Let us break their chains asunder, and cast away their fetters from us.
2:4  He that sitteth enthroned in Shomayim laughs; Adonoi hath them in derision.
2:5  Then shall He speak unto them in His wrath, and distress them in His hot displeasure.
2:6  I have set Malki (My King) upon Tziyon, My Har Kodesh.
2:7  I will declare the chok (decree): Hashem hath said unto me, Thou art Beni (My Son, i.e. Ben HaElohim Moshiach); HaYom (today) I have begotten thee.
2:8  Ask of Me, and I shall give thee the Goyim for thine nachalah, and the uttermost parts of ha’aretz for thy possession.
2:9  Thou shalt rule them with a shevet barzel; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel.
2:10  Have seichel now therefore, O ye Melachim; be warned, ye Shoftei Aretz.
2:11  Serve Hashem with fear, and rejoice with trembling.
2:12  Kiss the Bar (Ben, Son, [see Hebrew Mishlei 31:2; Ben HaElohim Moshiach; see 2:2,7, above]), lest he be angry, and ye perish from the Derech, for his wrath can flare up in a moment. Ashrei are all they that take refuge in him [Moshiach].
