Chapter 2

¹Why are the nations in an uproar And the peoples devising a vain thing?

¹外邦為甚麼爭鬧？萬民為甚麼謀算虛妄的事？

²The kings of the earth take their stand And the rulers take counsel together Against the LORD and against His Anointed, saying,

²世上的君王一齊起來，臣宰一同商議，要敵擋耶和華並他的受膏者，

³'Let us tear their fetters apart And cast away their cords from us!'

³說：我們要掙開他們的捆綁，脫去他們的繩索。

⁴He who sits in the heavens laughs, The Lord scoffs at them.

⁴那坐在天上的必發笑；主必嗤笑他們。

⁵Then He will speak to them in His anger And terrify them in His fury, saying,

⁵那時，他要在怒中責備他們，在烈怒中驚嚇他們，

⁶'But as for Me, I have installed My King Upon Zion, My holy mountain.'

⁶說：我已經立我的君在錫安─我的聖山上了。

⁷'I will surely tell of the decree of the LORD: He said to Me, 'You are My Son, Today I have begotten You.

⁷受膏者說：我要傳聖旨。耶和華曾對我說：你是我的兒子，我今日生你。

⁸'Ask of Me, and I will surely give the nations as Your inheritance, And the [very] ends of the earth as Your possession.

⁸你求我，我就將列國賜你為基業，將地極賜你為田產。

⁹'You shall break them with a rod of iron, You shall shatter them like earthenware.''

⁹你必用鐵杖打破他們；你必將他們如同窯匠的瓦器摔碎。

¹⁰Now therefore, O kings, show discernment; Take warning, O judges of the earth.

¹⁰現在，你們君王應當省悟！你們世上的審判官該受管教！

¹¹Worship the LORD with reverence And rejoice with trembling.

¹¹當存畏懼事奉耶和華，又當存戰兢而快樂。

¹²Do homage to the Son, that He not become angry, and you perish [in] the way, For His wrath may soon be kindled. How blessed are all who take refuge in Him!

¹²當以嘴親子，恐怕他發怒，你們便在道中滅亡，因為他的怒氣快要發作。凡投靠他的，都是有福的。
