Hebrew Names Version HNV
Young's Literal Translation YLT
1 Why do the nations rage, And the peoples plot a vain thing?
1
Why have nations tumultuously assembled? And do peoples meditate vanity?
2 The kings of the eretz take a stand, And the rulers take counsel together, Against the LORD, and against his Messiah, saying,

3 "Let us break their bonds apart, And cast away their cords from us."
3
`Let us draw off Their cords, And cast from us Their thick bands.'
4 He who sits in the heavens will laugh. The Lord will have them in derision.
4
He who is sitting in the heavens doth laugh, The Lord doth mock at them.
5 Then he will speak to them in his anger, And terrify them in his wrath:
5
Then doth He speak unto them in His anger, And in His wrath He doth trouble them:
6 "Yet I have set my king on my holy hill of Tziyon."
6
`And I -- I have anointed My King, Upon Zion -- My holy hill.'
7 I will tell of the decree. The LORD said to me, "You are my son. Today I have become your father.

8 Ask of me, and I will give the nations for your inheritance, The uttermost parts of the eretz for your possession.
8
Ask of Me and I give nations -- thy inheritance, And thy possession -- the ends of earth.
9 You shall break them with a rod of iron. You shall dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel."
9
Thou dost rule them with a sceptre of iron, As a vessel of a potter Thou dost crush them.'
10 Now therefore be wise, you kings. Be instructed, you judges of the eretz.
10
And now, O kings, act wisely, Be instructed, O judges of earth,
11 Serve the LORD with fear, And rejoice with trembling.
11
Serve ye Jehovah with fear, And rejoice with trembling.
12 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.
12
Kiss the Chosen One, lest He be angry, And ye lose the way, When His anger burneth but a little, O the happiness of all trusting in Him!
