Psalm 2

English Standard Version

The Reign of the Lord's Anointed

2 ^(A)Why do ^(B)the nations rage^[a]
    and the peoples plot in vain?
²The kings of the earth set themselves,
    and the rulers take counsel together,
    against the Lord and against his ^(C)Anointed, saying,
³“Let us ^(D)burst their bonds apart
    and cast away their cords from us.”

⁴He who ^(E)sits in the heavens ^(F)laughs;
    the Lord holds them in derision.
⁵Then he will speak to them in his ^(G)wrath,
    and terrify them in his fury, saying,
⁶“As for me, I have ^(H)set my King
    on ^(I)Zion, my ^(J)holy hill.”

⁷I will tell of the decree:
The Lord said to me, ^(K)“You are my Son;
    today I have begotten you.
⁸Ask of me, and I will make the nations your heritage,
    and ^(L)the ends of the earth your possession.
⁹You shall ^(M)break^[b] them with ^(N)a rod of iron
    and dash them in pieces like ^(O)a potter's vessel.”

¹⁰Now therefore, O kings, be wise;
    be warned, O rulers of the earth.
¹¹^(P)Serve the Lord with ^(Q)fear,
    and ^(R)rejoice with ^(S)trembling.
¹²^(T)Kiss ^(U)the Son,
    lest he be angry, and you perish in the way,
    for his ^(V)wrath is quickly kindled.
^(W)Blessed are all who take refuge in him.

Salmo 2

He ungido a mi rey en Sión

2 ¿Por qué las naciones se sublevan
y los pueblos urden planes sin sentido?
²Los reyes de la tierra se rebelan,
los príncipes conspiran juntos
contra el Señor y su ungido:
³“¡Rompamos sus ataduras,
desprendámonos de su yugo!”.
⁴El que habita en el cielo se ríe,
el Señor se burla de ellos.
⁵Les habla entonces con furia,
con su ira los atemoriza:
⁶“He ungido a mi rey
en Sión, mi monte santo”.
⁷Voy a proclamar el mandato del Señor.
Él me ha dicho: “Tú eres mi hijo,
yo te he engendrado hoy.
⁸Pídemelo y te daré las naciones en herencia,
los confines de la tierra en heredad.
⁹Los aplastarás con cetro de hierro,
los destrozarás cual vasija de alfarero”.
¹⁰Y ahora, reyes, reflexionad,
recapacitad, jueces de la tierra.
¹¹Servid al Señor con reverencia,
festejadlo emocionados,
¹²[besad al hijo],
no sea que se enoje y andéis perdidos
al estallar de repente su ira.
¡Dichosos los que en él confían!
