Chapter 2
1לָמָּה רָגְשׁוּ גוֹיִם וּלְאֻמִּים יֶהְגּוּ־רִֽיקWhy do nations assemble, and peoples plot vain things;Lamah ragshu goyim ulumim yehgu-rik
2יִתְיַצְּבוּ מַלְכֵי־אֶרֶץ וְרוֹזְנִים נֽוֹסְדוּ־יָחַד עַל־יְהֹוָה וְעַל־מְשִׁיחֽוֹkings of the earth take their stand, and regents intrigue together against the one anointed by GOD?Yityatzvu malchey-eretz veroznim nosdu-yachad al-Adonai veal-meshicho
3נְֽנַתְּקָה אֶת־מֽוֹסְרוֹתֵימוֹ וְנַשְׁלִיכָה מִמֶּנּוּ עֲבֹתֵֽימוֹ“Let us break the cords of their yoke, shake off their ropes from us!”Nenatkah et-mosroteymo venashlichah mimenu avoteymo
4יוֹשֵׁב בַּשָּׁמַיִם יִשְׂחָק אֲדֹנָי יִלְעַג־לָֽמוֹThe One who is enthroned in heaven laughs; my Sovereign mocks at them.Yoshev bashamayim yischak adonay yilag-lamo
5אָז יְדַבֵּר אֵלֵימוֹ בְאַפּוֹ וּֽבַחֲרוֹנוֹ יְבַהֲלֵֽמוֹThen [God] speaks to them in anger, terrifying them with divine rage,Az yedaber eleymo veapo uvacharono yevahalemo
6וַאֲנִי נָסַכְתִּי מַלְכִּי עַל־צִיּוֹן הַר־קׇדְשִֽׁי“But I have installed My king on Zion, My holy mountain!”Vaani nasachti malki al-tzion har-kodshi
7אֲסַפְּרָה אֶֽל־חֹק יְֽהֹוָה אָמַר־אֵלַי בְּנִי אַתָּה אֲנִי הַיּוֹם יְלִדְתִּֽיךָLet me tell of the decree: GOD said to me, “You are My son, I have fathered you this day.Asaprah el-chok yehovah amar-elay beni atah ani hayom yelidticha
8שְׁאַל מִמֶּנִּי וְאֶתְּנָה גוֹיִם נַחֲלָתֶךָ וַאֲחֻזָּתְךָ אַפְסֵי־אָֽרֶץAsk it of Me, and I will make the nations your domain; your estate, the limits of the earth.Sheal mimeni veetnah goyim nachalatecha vaachuzatcha afsey-aretz
9תְּרֹעֵם בְּשֵׁבֶט בַּרְזֶל כִּכְלִי יוֹצֵר תְּנַפְּצֵֽםYou can smash them with an iron mace, shatter them like potter’s ware.”Teroem beshevet barzel kichli yotzer tenaptzem
10וְעַתָּה מְלָכִים הַשְׂכִּילוּ הִוָּסְרוּ שֹׁפְטֵי אָֽרֶץSo now, O kings, be prudent; accept discipline, you rulers of the earth!Veatah melachim haskilu hivasru shoftey aretz
11עִבְדוּ אֶת־יְהֹוָה בְּיִרְאָה וְגִילוּ בִּרְעָדָֽהServe GOD in awe; tremble with fright,Ivdu et-Adonai beyirah vegilu biradah
12נַשְּׁקוּ־בַר פֶּן־יֶאֱנַף וְתֹאבְדוּ דֶרֶךְ כִּֽי־יִבְעַר כִּמְעַט אַפּוֹ אַשְׁרֵי כׇּל־חוֹסֵי בֽוֹpay homage in good faith, lest [God] be angered, and your way be doomed in the mere flash of divine anger. Happy are all who take refuge in [God].Nashku-var pen-yeenaf vetovdu derech ki-yivar kimat apo ashrey kol-chosey vo
