¹Why do the nations rage, and the peoples plot a vain thing?

¹Hvorfor fnyser Hedninger, hvi pønser Folkefærd på hvad fåfængt er?

²The kings of the earth take a stand, and the rulers take counsel together, against Yahweh, and against his Anointed, The word “Anointed” is the same as the word for “Messiah” or “Christ” saying,

²Jordens Konger rejser sig, Fyrster samles til Råd mod HERREN og mod hans Salvede:

³“Let’s break their bonds apart, and cast their cords from us.”

³"Lad os sprænge deres Bånd og kaste Rebene af os!"

⁴He who sits in the heavens will laugh. The Lord The word translated “Lord” is “Adonai.” will have them in derision.

⁴Han, som troner i Himlen, ler, Herren, han spotter dem.

⁵Then he will speak to them in his anger, and terrify them in his wrath:

⁵Så taler han til dem i Vrede, forfærder dem i sin Harme:

⁶"Jeg har dog indsat min Konge på Zion, mit hellige Bjerg!"

⁷I will tell of the decree. Yahweh said to me, “You are my son. Today I have become your father.

⁷Jeg kundgør HERRENs Tilsagn. Han sagde til mig: "Du er min Søn, jeg har født dig i Dag!

⁸Ask of me, and I will give the nations for your inheritance, the uttermost parts of the earth for your possession.

⁸Bed mig, og jeg giver dig Hedningefolk til Arv og den vide Jord i Eje;

⁹You shall break them with a rod of iron. You shall dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel.”

⁹med Jernspir skal du knuse dem og sønderslå dem som en Pottemagers Kar!"

¹⁰Now therefore be wise, you kings. Be instructed, you judges of the earth.

¹⁰Og nu, I Konger, vær kloge, lad eder råde, I Jordens Dommere,

¹¹Serve Yahweh with fear, and rejoice with trembling.

¹¹tjener HERREN i Frygt, fryd jer med Bæven!

¹²Give sincere homage to the Son or, Kiss the son , lest he be angry, and you perish in the way, for his wrath will soon be kindled. Blessed are all those who take refuge in him.

¹²Kysser Sønnen, at ikke han vredes og I forgår! Snart blusset hans Vrede op. Salig hver den, der lider på ham!
