Psalm 2 :: Young's Literal Translation (YLT)

Psa 2:1Why have nations tumultuously assembled? And do peoples meditate vanity?
Psa 2:2Station themselves do kings of the earth, And princes have been united together, Against Jehovah, and against His Messiah:
Psa 2:3'Let us draw off Their cords, And cast from us Their thick bands.'
Psa 2:4He who is sitting in the heavens doth laugh, The Lord doth mock at them.
Psa 2:5Then doth He speak unto them in His anger, And in His wrath He doth trouble them:
Psa 2:6'And I -- I have anointed My King, Upon Zion -- My holy hill.'
Psa 2:7I declare concerning a statute: Jehovah said unto me, 'My Son Thou art, I to-day have brought thee forth.
Psa 2:8Ask of Me and I give nations -- thy inheritance, And thy possession -- the ends of earth.
Psa 2:9Thou dost rule them with a sceptre of iron, As a vessel of a potter Thou dost crush them.'
Psa 2:10And now, O kings, act wisely, Be instructed, O judges of earth,
Psa 2:11Serve ye Jehovah with fear, And rejoice with trembling.
Psa 2:12Kiss the Chosen One, lest He be angry, And ye lose the way, When His anger burneth but a little, O the happiness of all trusting in Him!
