诗篇 2
Chinese Union Version Modern Punctuation (Simplified)
耶和华之受膏者为王
2 外邦为什么争闹，万民为什么谋算虚妄的事？
2 世上的君王一齐起来，臣宰一同商议，要抵挡耶和华并他的受膏者，
3 说：“我们要挣开他们的捆绑，脱去他们的绳索！”
4 那坐在天上的必发笑，主必嗤笑他们。
5 那时，他要在怒中责备他们，在烈怒中惊吓他们，
6 说：“我已经立我的君在锡安我的圣山上了。”
7 受膏者说：“我要传圣旨。耶和华曾对我说：‘你是我的儿子，我今日生你。
8 你求我，我就将列国赐你为基业，将地极赐你为田产。
9 你必用铁杖打破他们，你必将他们如同窑匠的瓦器摔碎。’”
10 现在你们君王应当醒悟，你们世上的审判官该受管教！
11 当存畏惧侍奉耶和华，又当存战兢而快乐。
12 当以嘴亲子，恐怕他发怒，你们便在道中灭亡，因为他的怒气快要发作。凡投靠他的，都是有福的！
Psalm 2
New American Bible (Revised Edition)
Psalm 2[a]
A Psalm for a Royal Coronation
1 Why do the nations protest
and the peoples conspire in vain?(A)
2 Kings on earth rise up
and princes plot together
against the Lord and against his anointed one:[b](B)
3 “Let us break their shackles
and cast off their chains from us!”(C)
4 The one enthroned in heaven laughs;
the Lord derides them,(D)
5 Then he speaks to them in his anger,
in his wrath he terrifies them:
6 “I myself have installed my king
on Zion, my holy mountain.”
7 I will proclaim the decree of the Lord,
he said to me, “You are my son;
today I have begotten you.(E)
8 Ask it of me,
and I will give you the nations as your inheritance,
and, as your possession, the ends of the earth.
9 With an iron rod you will shepherd them,
like a potter’s vessel you will shatter them.”(F)
10 And now, kings, give heed;
take warning, judges on earth.
11 Serve the Lord with fear;
exult with trembling,
Accept correction
lest he become angry and you perish along the way
when his anger suddenly blazes up.(G)
Blessed are all who take refuge in him!
Footnotes
- Psalm 2 A royal Psalm. To rebellious kings (Ps 2:1–3) God responds vigorously (Ps 2:4–6). A speaker proclaims the divine decree (in the legal adoption language of the day), making the Israelite king the earthly representative of God (Ps 2:7–9) and warning kings to obey (Ps 2:10–11). The Psalm has a messianic meaning for the Church; the New Testament understands it of Christ (Acts 4:25–27; 13:33; Hb 1:5).
- 2:2 Anointed: in Hebrew mashiah, “anointed”; in Greek christos, whence English Messiah and Christ. In Israel kings (Jgs 9:8; 1 Sm 9:16; 16:12–13) and high priests (Lv 8:12; Nm 3:3) received the power of their office through anointing.
