\q1
|
|
\v 1 Why do the leaders of nations rage against Yahweh?
|
|
\q2 Why do people plan to rebel against him, even though it is in vain?
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 2 The kings of the nations on earth prepare to revolt;
|
|
\q2 the rulers plot together to fight against Yahweh and against his Anointed One.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 3 They shout, "We should free ourselves from their control;
|
|
\q2 we should not let them rule over us any longer!"
|
|
\b
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 4 But the one who sits on his throne in heaven laughs at them;
|
|
\q2 the Lord ridicules those rulers.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 5 Then, because he is angry with them, he rebukes them.
|
|
\q2 He causes them to be terrified when they realize that he will furiously punish them.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 6 Yahweh says, "I have put my king on a throne on Zion, my sacred hill in Jerusalem."
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 7 His king says, "I will proclaim what Yahweh has decreed.
|
|
\q1 He said to me, 'You are my son;
|
|
\q2 today I have become your father.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 8 Request me to give you the nations
|
|
\q2 so that they belong to you permanently,
|
|
\q2 and I will give them to you.
|
|
\q1 Even the most remote nations will be yours.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 9 You will strike them down with an iron rod;
|
|
\q2 like the potter crashes his pot into pieces when he throws it on the ground,
|
|
\q2 that is how you will break them up into small pieces.
|
|
\b
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 10 So then, you kings and other rulers on the earth, act wisely!
|
|
\q2 Listen to what Yahweh is warning you!
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 11 Worship Yahweh; fervently honor him.
|
|
\q2 Rejoice about the things he has done, but tremble before him!
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 12 Bow down humbly before his son!
|
|
\q2 If you do not do that, he will be angry,
|
|
\q2 and he will suddenly kill you.
|
|
\q1 Do not forget that he can, in one moment, show that he is very angry!
|
|
\q2 But how fortunate are all those who request him to protect them.
