| Why do the nations conspire,
and the peoples plot in vain?
|
לָמָּה רָגְשׁוּ גֹויִם וּלְאֻמִּים יֶהְגּוּ־רִיק׃ | God's Chosen King. Psalm 2 |
| The kings of the earth set themselves,
and the rulers take counsel together,
against the LORD and his anointed, saying,
|
יִתְיַצְּבוּ מַלְכֵי־אֶרֶץ וְרֹוזְנִים נֹוסְדוּ־יָחַד
עַל־יְהוָה וְעַל־מְשִׁיחֹו׃ | |
| "Let us burst their bonds asunder,
and cast their cords from us."
|
נְנַתְּקָה אֶת־מֹוסְרֹותֵימֹו וְנַשְׁלִיכָה מִמֶּנּוּ עֲבֹתֵימֹו׃ | |
| He who sits in the heavens laughs;
the LORD has them in derision.
|
יֹושֵׁב בַּשָּׁמַיִם יִשְׂחָק אֲדֹנָי יִלְעַג־לָמֹו׃ | |
| Then he will speak to them in his wrath,
and terrify them in his fury, saying,
|
אָז יְדַבֵּר אֵלֵימֹו בְאַפֹּו וּבַחֲרֹונֹו יְבַהֲלֵמֹו׃ | |
| "I have set my king on Zion,
my holy hill."
|
וַאֲנִי נָסַכְתִּי מַלְכִּי עַל־צִיֹּון הַר־קָדְשִׁי׃ | |
| I will tell of the decree of the LORD: He said to me,
"You are my son, today I have begotten you.
|
אֲסַפְּרָה אֶל חֹק יְהוָה
אָמַר אֵלַי בְּנִי אַתָּה אֲנִי הַיֹּום יְלִדְתִּיךָ׃ | |
| Ask of me, and I will make the nations your heritage,
and the ends of the earth your possession.
|
שְׁאַל מִמֶּנִּי וְאֶתְּנָה גֹויִם נַחֲלָתֶךָ וַאֲחֻזָּתְךָ אַפְסֵי־אָרֶץ׃ | |
| You shall break them with a rod of iron,
and dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel."
|
תְּרֹעֵם בְּשֵׁבֶט בַּרְזֶל כִּכְלִי יֹוצֵר תְּנַפְּצֵם׃ | |
| Now therefore, O kings, be wise;
be warned, O rulers of the earth.
|
וְעַתָּה מְלָכִים הַשְׂכִּילוּ הִוָּסְרוּ שֹׁפְטֵי אָרֶץ׃ | |
| Serve the LORD with fear,
with trembling |
עִבְדוּ אֶת־יְהוָה בְּיִרְאָה וְגִילוּ בִּרְעָדָה׃ | |
| kiss his feet,
lest he be angry, and you perish in the way;
for his wrath is quickly kindled. Blessed are all who take refuge in him. |
נַשְּׁקוּ־בַר
פֶּן־יֶאֱנַף וְתֹאבְדוּ דֶרֶךְ כִּי־יִבְעַר כִּמְעַט אַפֹּו
אַשְׁרֵי כָּל־חֹוסֵי בֹו׃ | |
