시편 2

1어찌하여 열방이 분노하며 민족들이 허사를 경영하는고 2세상의 군왕들이 나서며 관원들이 서로 꾀하여 여호와와 그 기름 받은 자를 대적하며 3우리가 그 맨 것을 끊고 그 결박을 벗어 버리자 하도다 4하늘에 계신 자가 웃으심이여 주께서 저희를 비웃으시리로다 5그 때에 분을 발하며 진노하사 저희를 놀래어 이르시기를 6내가 나의 왕을 내 거룩한 산 시온에 세웠다 하시리로다 7내가 영을 전하노라 여호와께서 내게 이르시되 너는 내 아들이라 오늘날 내가 너를 낳았도다 8내게 구하라 내가 열방을 유업으로 주리니 네 소유가 땅 끝까지 이르리로다 9네가 철장으로 저희를 깨뜨림이여 질그릇 같이 부수리라 하시도다 10그런즉 군왕들아 너희는 지혜를 얻으며 세상의 관원들아 교훈을 받을지어다 11여호와를 경외함으로 섬기고 떨며 즐거워할지어다 12그 아들에게 입맞추라 그렇지 아니하면 진노하심으로 너희가 길에서 망하리니 그 진노가 급하심이라 여호와를 의지하는 자는 다 복이 있도다

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, saying, 3“Let’s break their bonds apart, and cast their cords from us.” 4He who sits in the heavens will laugh. The Lord 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, 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.

1Waarom woeden de heidenen, en bedenken de volken ijdelheid? 2De koningen der aarde stellen zich op, en de vorsten beraadslagen te zamen tegen den HEERE, en tegen Zijn Gezalfde, zeggende: 3Laat ons hun banden verscheuren, en hun touwen van ons werpen. 4Die in den hemel woont, zal lachen; de HEERE zal hen bespotten. 5Dan zal Hij tot hen spreken in Zijn toorn, en in Zijn grimmigheid zal Hij hen verschrikken. 6Ik toch heb Mijn Koning gezalfd over Sion, den berg Mijner heiligheid. 7Ik zal van het besluit verhalen: de HEERE heeft tot Mij gezegd: Gij zijt Mijn Zoon, heden heb Ik U gegenereerd. 8Eis van Mij, en Ik zal de heidenen geven tot Uw erfdeel, en de einden der aarde tot Uw bezitting. 9Gij zult hen verpletteren met een ijzeren scepter; Gij zult hen in stukken slaan als een pottenbakkersvat. 10Nu dan, gij koningen, handelt verstandiglijk; laat u tuchtigen, gij rechters der aarde! 11Dient den HEERE met vreze, en verheugt u met beving. 12Kust den Zoon, opdat Hij niet toorne, en gij op den weg vergaat, wanneer Zijn toorn maar een weinig zou ontbranden. Welgelukzalig zijn allen, die op Hem betrouwen.
