 神膏立的君王必審判列國

列國為甚麼騷動?

萬民為甚麼空謀妄想?

世上的君王起來,

首領聚在一起,

敵對耶和華和他所膏立的,說:

“我們來掙斷他們給我們的束縛,

擺脫他們的繩索!”

那坐在天上的必發笑,

主必譏笑他們。

那時,他必在烈怒中對他們講話,

在震怒中使他們驚慌,說:

“我已經在錫安我的聖山上,

立了我的君王。”

受膏者說:“我要宣告耶和華的諭旨:

耶和華對我說:‘你是我的兒子,

我今日生了你。

你求我,我就把列國賜給你作產業,

把全地都歸屬於你。

你必用鐵杖擊打他們,

好像打碎陶器一樣粉碎他們。’”

10 現在,君王啊!你們要謹慎。

地上的審判官啊!你們應當聽勸告。

11 你們要以敬畏的態度事奉耶和華,

又應當存戰兢的心而歡呼。

12 你們要用嘴親吻子,

否則他一發怒,你們就在路上滅亡,

因為他的怒氣快要發作。

凡是投靠他的,都是有福的。

Why do the Goyim rage, and the Amim (peoples) imagine a vain thing?

The Malchei Eretz rise up in rebellion, and the rulers take counsel together against Hashem and against His Moshiach, saying,

Let us break their chains asunder, and cast away their fetters from us.

He that sitteth enthroned in Shomayim laughs; Adonoi hath them in derision.

Then shall He speak unto them in His wrath, and distress them in His hot displeasure.

I have set Malki (My King) upon Tziyon, My Har Kodesh.

I will declare the chok (decree): Hashem hath said unto me, Thou art Beni (My Son, i.e. Ben HaElohim Moshiach); HaYom (today) I have begotten thee.

Ask of Me, and I shall give thee the Goyim for thine nachalah, and the uttermost parts of ha’aretz for thy possession.

Thou shalt rule them with a shevet barzel; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel.

10 Have seichel now therefore, O ye Melachim; be warned, ye Shoftei Aretz.

11 Serve Hashem with fear, and rejoice with trembling.

12 Kiss the Bar (Ben, Son, [see Hebrew Mishlei 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 [Moshiach].

The Messiah’s Triumph and Kingdom(A)

Why (B)do the [a]nations [b]rage,
And the people plot a [c]vain thing?
The kings of the earth set themselves,
And the (C)rulers take counsel together,
Against the Lord and against His (D)Anointed,[d] saying,
“Let (E)us break Their bonds in pieces
And cast away Their cords from us.”

He who sits in the heavens (F)shall laugh;
The Lord shall hold them in derision.
Then He shall speak to them in His wrath,
And distress them in His deep displeasure:
“Yet I have [e]set My King
[f]On My holy hill of Zion.”

“I will declare the [g]decree:
The Lord has said to Me,
(G)‘You are My Son,
Today I have begotten You.
Ask of Me, and I will give You
The nations for Your inheritance,
And the ends of the earth for Your possession.
(H)You shall [h]break them with a rod of iron;
You shall dash them to pieces like a potter’s vessel.’ ”

10 Now therefore, be wise, O kings;
Be instructed, you judges of the earth.
11 Serve the Lord with fear,
And rejoice with trembling.
12 [i]Kiss the Son, lest [j]He be angry,
And you perish in the way,
When (I)His wrath is kindled but a little.
(J)Blessed are all those who put their trust in Him.
