Psalms 2: (YLT)
|
1) Why have nations tumultuously assembled? And do peoples meditate vanity?
|
2) Station themselves do kings of the earth, And princes have been united together, Against Jehovah, and against His Messiah:
|
3) 'Let us draw off Their cords, And cast from us Their thick bands.'
|
4) He who is sitting in the heavens doth laugh, The Lord doth mock at them.
|
5) Then doth He speak unto them in His anger, And in His wrath He doth trouble them:
|
6) 'And I -- I have anointed My King, Upon Zion -- My holy hill.'
|
7) I declare concerning a statute: Jehovah said unto me, 'My Son Thou [art], I to-day have brought thee forth.
|
8) Ask of Me and I give nations -- thy inheritance, And thy possession -- the ends of earth.
|
9) Thou dost rule them with a sceptre of iron, As a vessel of a potter Thou dost crush them.'
|
10) And now, O kings, act wisely, Be instructed, O judges of earth,
|
11) Serve ye Jehovah with fear, And rejoice with trembling.
|
12) Kiss the Chosen One, lest He be angry, And ye lose the way, When His anger burneth but a little, O the happiness of all trusting in Him!
