Ang Haring Hinirang ng Panginoon

Bakit nagsipagtipon ang mga bansa sa pagpaplano ng masama?
    Bakit sila nagpaplano ng wala namang patutunguhan?
Ang mga hari at mga pinuno sa mundo ay nagsama-sama,
    at nagsipaghanda sa pakikipaglaban sa Panginoon,
    at sa hari na kanyang hinirang.
Sinabi nila,
    “Huwag tayong pasakop o sumunod man sa kanilang pamamahala!”
Ngunit siyang nakaupo sa kanyang trono sa langit ay natatawa lang, at kumukutya sa kanila.
Sa galit ng Dios, silaʼy binigyang babala,
    at sa tindi ng kanyang poot silaʼy natatakot.
Sinabi niya,
    “Iniluklok ko na ang hinirang kong hari sa kanyang trono sa Zion,[a] sa banal kong bundok.”
Sinabi ng hari na hinirang ng Dios,
    “Sasabihin ko ang sinabi sa akin ng Panginoon: ‘Ikaw ang Anak ko,
    at ngayon, ipapahayag ko na ako ang iyong Ama.[b]
Hilingin mo sa akin ang mga bansa sa buong mundo,
    at ibibigay ko ito sa iyo bilang mana mo.
Pamumunuan mo sila,
    at walang sasalungat sa iyong pamamahala.
    Silaʼy magiging parang palayok na iyong dudurugin.’ ”

10 Kaya kayong mga hari at pinuno sa buong mundo,
    unawain ninyo ang mga salitang ito at pakinggan ang mga babala laban sa inyo.
11 Paglingkuran ninyo ang Panginoon nang may takot,
    at magalak kayo sa kanya.
12 Magpasakop kayo sa hari na kanyang hinirang,
    kung hindi ay baka magalit siya at kayoʼy ipahamak niya.
    Mapalad ang mga nanganganlong sa Panginoon.

Psalm 2

Why do the nations conspire[a]
    and the peoples plot(A) in vain?
The kings(B) of the earth rise up
    and the rulers band together
    against the Lord and against his anointed,(C) saying,
“Let us break their chains(D)
    and throw off their shackles.”(E)

The One enthroned(F) in heaven laughs;(G)
    the Lord scoffs at them.
He rebukes them in his anger(H)
    and terrifies them in his wrath,(I) saying,
“I have installed my king(J)
    on Zion,(K) my holy mountain.(L)

I will proclaim the Lord’s decree:

He said to me, “You are my son;(M)
    today I have become your father.(N)
Ask me,
    and I will make the nations(O) your inheritance,(P)
    the ends of the earth(Q) your possession.
You will break them with a rod of iron[b];(R)
    you will dash them to pieces(S) like pottery.(T)

10 Therefore, you kings, be wise;(U)
    be warned, you rulers(V) of the earth.
11 Serve the Lord with fear(W)
    and celebrate his rule(X) with trembling.(Y)
12 Kiss his son,(Z) or he will be angry
    and your way will lead to your destruction,
for his wrath(AA) can flare up in a moment.
    Blessed(AB) are all who take refuge(AC) in him.

  1. Psalm 2:1 Hebrew; Septuagint rage
  2. Psalm 2:9 Or will rule them with an iron scepter (see Septuagint and Syriac)

Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?

The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord, and against his anointed, saying,

Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.

He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision.

Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure.

Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.

I will declare the decree: the Lord hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee.

Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.

Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel.

10 Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth.

11 Serve the Lord with fear, and rejoice with trembling.

12 Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.

The Reign of the Lord's Anointed

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

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

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

10 Now 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.
