Psalm 2English Standard Versionfrom CrosswayThe Reign of the Lord’s Anointed1 Why do the nations rage[1] and the peoples plot in vain? (Ps 46:6; Ac 4:25)(Ps 46:6; Ac 4:25) 2 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord and against his Anointed, saying, (Ps 18:50; Ps 20:6; Ps 45:7; Ps 89:20)(Ps 18:50; Ps 20:6; Ps 45:7; Ps 89:20) 3 “Let us burst their bonds apart and cast away their cords from us.” (Jer 5:5)(Jer 5:5) 4 He who sits in the heavens laughs; the Lord holds them in derision. (Job 22:19; Ps 11:4; Ps 29:10; Ps 37:13; Ps 59:8; Pr 1:26; Isa 40:22)(Job 22:19; Ps 11:4; Ps 29:10; Ps 37:13; Ps 59:8; Pr 1:26; Isa 40:22) 5 Then he will speak to them in his wrath, and terrify them in his fury, saying, (Re 6:16)(Re 6:16) 6 “As for me, I have set my King on Zion, my holy hill.” (2Sa 5:7; Ps 3:4; Ps 15:1; Ps 43:3; Ps 99:9; Ps 110:2; Pr 8:23)(2Sa 5:7; Ps 3:4; Ps 15:1; Ps 43:3; Ps 99:9; Ps 110:2; Pr 8:23) 7 I will tell of the decree: The Lord said to me, “You are my Son; today I have begotten you. (Ac 13:33; Ro 1:4; Heb 1:5; Heb 5:5)(Ac 13:33; Ro 1:4; Heb 1:5; Heb 5:5) 8 Ask of me, and I will make the nations your heritage, and the ends of the earth your possession. (Ps 72:8; Ps 89:27; Da 7:14)(Ps 72:8; Ps 89:27; Da 7:14) 9 You shall break[2] them with a rod of iron and dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel.” (Job 34:24; Ps 89:23; Isa 30:14; Jer 19:11; Re 2:27; Re 12:5; Re 19:15)(Job 34:24; Ps 89:23; Isa 30:14; Jer 19:11; Re 2:27; Re 12:5; Re 19:15) 10 Now therefore, O kings, be wise; be warned, O rulers of the earth. 11 Serve the Lord with fear, and rejoice with trembling. (Php 2:12; Php 4:4; Heb 12:28)(Php 2:12; Php 4:4; Heb 12:28) 12 Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and you perish in the way, for his wrath is quickly kindled. Blessed are all who take refuge in him. (1Sa 10:1; 1Ki 19:18; Ps 2:5; Ps 34:8; Ps 84:12; Ps 146:5; Pr 16:20; Pr 31:2; Isa 30:18; Jer 17:7; Joh 5:23)(1Sa 10:1; 1Ki 19:18; Ps 2:5; Ps 34:8; Ps 84:12; Ps 146:5; Pr 16:20; Pr 31:2; Isa 30:18; Jer 17:7; Joh 5:23)
Psalm 2圣经当代译本修订版from Biblica上帝膏立的君王1 列国为何咆哮？ 万民为何枉费心机？ 2 世上的君王一同行动， 官长聚集商议， 要抵挡耶和华和祂所膏立的王。 3 他们说： “让我们挣断他们的锁链， 脱去他们的捆索！” 4 坐在天上宝座上的主必笑他们， 祂必嘲笑他们。 5 那时，祂必怒斥他们， 使他们充满恐惧。 6 祂说： “在我的锡安圣山上， 我已立了我的君王。” 7 那位君王说： “我要宣告耶和华的旨意， 祂对我说，‘你是我的儿子， 我今日成为你父亲。 8 你向我祈求，我必把列国赐给你作产业， 让天下都归你所有。 9 你要用铁杖统治他们， 把他们像陶器一般打碎。’” 10 君王啊，要慎思明辨！ 世上的统治者啊，要接受劝诫！ 11 要以敬畏的心事奉耶和华， 要喜乐也要战战兢兢。 12 要降服在祂儿子面前， 免得祂发怒， 你们便在罪恶中灭亡， 因为祂的怒气将临。 投靠祂的人有福了！
