Psalm 2
1Why do the nations gather together?
Why do their people devise useless plots?
2Kings take their stands.
Rulers make plans together
against the Lord and against his Messiah #2:2 Or “anointed one.” by saying,
3“Let’s break apart their chains
and shake off their ropes.”
4The one enthroned in heaven laughs.
The Lord makes fun of them.
5Then he speaks to them in his anger.
In his burning anger he terrifies them by saying,
6“I have installed my own king on Zion, my holy mountain.”
7I will announce the Lord’s decree.
He said to me:
“You are my Son.
Today I have become your Father.
8Ask me, and I will give you the nations as your inheritance
and the ends of the earth as your own possession.
9You will break them with an iron scepter.
You will smash them to pieces like pottery.”
10Now, you kings, act wisely.
Be warned, you rulers of the earth!
11Serve the Lord with fear, and rejoice with trembling.
12Kiss the Son, or he will become angry
and you will die on your way
because his anger will burst into flames.
Blessed is everyone who takes refuge in him.

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