Psalms 2
2
1Why do the nations rage,
and the peoples plot a vain thing?
2The kings of the earth take a stand,
and the rulers take counsel together,
against Yahweh, and against his Anointed,#2:2 The word “Anointed” is the same as the word for “Messiah” or “Christ” saying,
3“Let’s break their bonds apart,
and cast their cords from us.”
4He who sits in the heavens will laugh.
The Lord#2:4 The word translated “Lord” is “Adonai.” will have them in derision.
5Then he will speak to them in his anger,
and terrify them in his wrath:
6“Yet I have set my King on my holy hill of Zion.”
7I will tell of the decree:
Yahweh said to me, “You are my son.
Today I have become your father.
8Ask of me, and I will give the nations for your inheritance,
the uttermost parts of the earth for your possession.
9You shall break them with a rod of iron.
You shall dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel.”
10Now therefore be wise, you kings.
Be instructed, you judges of the earth.
11Serve Yahweh with fear,
and rejoice with trembling.
12Give sincere homage to the Son,#2:12 or, Kiss the son lest he be angry, and you perish on the way,
for his wrath will soon be kindled.
Blessed are all those who take refuge in him.

Tehillim (Psalms) 2

1Why do the nations rage,#Quoted in Acts 4:25, 26. See also Dan. 2:44; Dan. 7:13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25, 26, 27, 28; Hag. 2:22; Zech. 14:9 and Rev. 11:15 And the peoples meditate emptiness?
2The sovereigns of the earth take their stand, And the rulers take counsel together, Against יהוה and against His Messiah, and say,
3Let us tear apart Their bonds, And throw away Their ropes from us.
4He who is sitting in the heavens laughs, יהוה mocks at them.
5Then He speaks to them in His wrath, And troubles them in His rage, saying,
6But I, I have set My Sovereign on Tsiyon, My set-apart mountain.
7“I inscribe for a law: יהוה has said to Me, ‘You are My Son, Today I have brought You forth.
8Ask of Me, and I make the nations Your inheritance, And the ends of the earth Your possession.
9Break them with a rod of iron, Dash them to pieces like a potter’s vessel.’ ”
10And now, be wise, O sovereigns; Be instructed, you rulers of the earth.
11Serve יהוה with fear, And rejoice with trembling.
12Kiss the Chosen,#Hebrew, Nashqu ḇar. Ḇar - Chosen in Hebrew but Son in Aramaic. lest He be enraged, And you perish in the way, For soon His wrath is to be kindled. Blessed are all those taking refuge in Him.
