Psalms 2 — TOJB

2Verse 1Why do the Goyim rage,
and the Amim (peoples) imagine a vain thing?
^{Verse 2}The Malchei Eretz rise up in rebellion,
and the rulers take counsel together
against Hashem and against His Moshiach, saying,
^{Verse 3}Let us break their chains asunder,
and cast away their fetters from us.
^{Verse 4}He that sitteth enthroned in Shomayim laughs;
Adonoi hath them in derision.
^{Verse 5}Then shall He speak unto them in His wrath,
and distress them in His hot displeasure.
^{Verse 6}I have set Malki (My King)
upon Tziyon, My Har Kodesh.^{Verse 7}I will declare the chok (decree):
Hashem hath said unto me,
Thou art Beni (My Son);⁺
HaYom (today) I have begotten thee.
^{Verse 8}Ask of Me, and I shall give thee the Goyim for thine nachalah,
and the uttermost parts of ha'aretz for thy possession.
^{Verse 9}Thou shalt rule them with a shevet barzel;
thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potterʼs vessel.^{Verse 10}Have seichel now therefore, O ye Melachim;
be warned, ye Shoftei Aretz.
^{Verse 11}Serve Hashem with fear,
and rejoice with trembling.
^{Verse 12}Kiss the Bar (Ben, Son),⁺lest he be angry,
and ye perish from the Derech,
for his wrath can flare up in a moment.
Ashrei are all they that take refuge in him.⁺
