1لماذا ارتجّت الامم وتفكّر الشعوب في الباطل.
1Why are the nations in tumultuous agitation, and [why] do the peoples meditate a vain thing?
2قام ملوك الارض وتآمر الرؤساء معا على الرب وعلى مسيحه قائلين
2The kings of the earth set themselves, and the princes plot together, against Jehovah and against his anointed:
3لنقطع قيودهما ولنطرح عنا ربطهما
3Let us break their bonds asunder, and cast away their cords from us!
4الساكن في السموات يضحك. الرب يستهزئ بهم.
4He that dwelleth in the heavens shall laugh, the Lord shall have them in derision.
5حينئذ يتكلم عليهم بغضبه ويرجفهم بغيظه.
5Then will he speak to them in his anger, and in his fierce displeasure will he terrify them:
6اما انا فقد مسحت ملكي على صهيون جبل قدسي
6And *I* have anointed my king upon Zion, the hill of my holiness.
7اني اخبر من جهة قضاء الرب. قال لي انت ابني. انا اليوم ولدتك
7I will declare the decree: Jehovah hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; *I* this day have begotten thee.
8اسألني فاعطيك الامم ميراثا لك واقاصي الارض ملكا لك.
8Ask of me, and I will give thee nations for an inheritance, and for thy possession the ends of the earth:
9تحطمهم بقضيب من حديد. مثل اناء خزّاف تكسّرهم
9Thou shalt break them with a sceptre of iron, as a potter's vessel thou shalt dash them in pieces.
10فالآن يا ايها الملوك تعقلوا. تأدبوا يا قضاة الارض.
10And now, O kings, be ye wise, be admonished, ye judges of the earth.
11اعبدوا الرب بخوف واهتفوا برعدة.
11Serve Jehovah with fear, and rejoice with trembling.
12قبّلوا الابن لئلا يغضب فتبيدوا من الطريق لانه عن قليل يتقد غضبه. طوبى لجميع المتكلين عليه
12Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish in the way, though his anger burn but a little. Blessed are all who have their trust in him.
