Ang Haring Pinili ni Yahweh

Bakit(A) nagbabalak maghimagsik ang mga bansa?
    Sa sabwatan nilang ito'y anong kanilang mapapala?
Mga hari ng lupa'y nagkasundo at sama-samang lumalaban,
    hinahamon si Yahweh at ang kanyang hinirang:
Sinasabi nila: “Ang paghahari nila sa atin ay dapat nang matapos;
    dapat na tayong lumaya at kumawala sa gapos.”

Si Yahweh na nakaupo sa langit ay natatawa lamang,
    lahat ng plano nila ay wala namang katuturan.
Sa tindi ng kanyang galit, sila'y kanyang binalaan;
    sa tindi ng poot, sila'y kanyang sinabihan,
“Doon sa Zion, sa bundok na banal,
    ang haring pinili ko'y aking itinalaga.”

“Ipahahayag(B) ko ang sinabi sa akin ni Yahweh,
    ‘Ikaw ang aking anak,
    mula ngayo'y ako na ang iyong ama.
Hingin mo ang mga bansa't ibibigay ko sa iyo,
    maging ang buong daigdig ay ipapamana ko.
Dudurugin(C) mo sila ng tungkod na bakal;
    tulad ng palayok, sila'y magkakabasag-basag.’”

10 Kaya't magpakatalino kayo, mga hari ng mundo,
    ang babalang ito'y unawain ninyo:
11 Paglingkuran ninyo si Yahweh nang may takot at paggalang,
    sa paanan ng kanyang anak

12 yumukod kayo't magparangal,

baka magalit siya't bigla kayong parusahan.
Mapalad ang taong ang Diyos ang kanlungan.

Psalm 2

Why do the nations assemble with commotion [uproar and confusion of voices], and why do the people imagine (meditate upon and devise) an empty scheme?

The kings of the earth take their places; the rulers take counsel together against the Lord and His Anointed One (the Messiah, the Christ). They say,(A)

Let us break Their bands [of restraint] asunder and cast Their cords [of control] from us.

He Who sits in the heavens laughs; the Lord has them in derision [and in supreme contempt He mocks them].

He speaks to them in His deep anger and troubles (terrifies and confounds) them in His displeasure and fury, saying,

Yet have I anointed (installed and placed) My King [firmly] on My holy hill of Zion.

I will declare the decree of the Lord: He said to Me, You are My Son; this day [I declare] I have begotten You.(B)

Ask of Me, and I will give You the nations as Your inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth as Your possession.

You shall break them with a rod of iron; You shall dash them in pieces like potters’ ware.(C)

10 Now therefore, O you kings, act wisely; be instructed and warned, O you rulers of the earth.

11 Serve the Lord with reverent awe and worshipful fear; rejoice and be in high spirits with trembling [lest you displease Him].

12 Kiss the Son [pay homage to Him in purity], lest He be angry and you perish in the way, for soon shall His wrath be kindled. O blessed (happy, fortunate, and to be envied) are all those who seek refuge and put their trust in Him!
