Psalms 2

The Complete Jewish Bible CJB

1 Why are the nations in an uproar, the peoples grumbling in vain?

2 The earth's kings are taking positions, leaders conspiring together, against ADONAI and his anointed.

3 They cry, "Let's break their fetters! Let's throw off their chains!"

4 He who sits in heaven laughs; Adonai looks at them in derision.

5 Then in his anger he rebukes them, terrifies them in his fury.

6 "I myself have installed my king on Tziyon, my holy mountain."

7 "I will proclaim the decree: ADONAI said to me, 'You are my son; today I became your father.

8 Ask of me, and I will make the nations your inheritance; the whole wide world will be your possession.

9 You will break them with an iron rod, shatter them like a clay pot.'"

10 Therefore, kings, be wise; be warned, you judges of the earth.

11 Serve ADONAI with fear; rejoice, but with trembling.

12 Kiss the son, lest he be angry, and you perish along the way, when suddenly his anger blazes. How blessed are all who take refuge in him.

The Bible in Basic English BBE

1 Why are the nations so violently moved, and why are the thoughts of the people so foolish?

2 The kings of the earth have taken their place, and the rulers are fixed in their purpose, against the Lord, and against the king of his selection, saying,

3 Let their chains be broken, and their cords taken from off us.

4 Then he whose seat is in the heavens will be laughing: the Lord will make sport of them.

5 Then will his angry words come to their ears, and by his wrath they will be troubled:

6 But I have put my king on my holy hill of Zion.

7 I will make clear the Lord's decision: he has said to me, You are my son, this day have I given you being.

8 Make your request to me, and I will give you the nations for your heritage, and the farthest limits of the earth will be under your hand.

9 They will be ruled by you with a rod of iron; they will be broken like a potter's vessel.

10 So now be wise, you kings: take his teaching, you judges of the earth.

11 Give worship to the Lord with fear, kissing his feet and giving him honour,

12 For fear that he may be angry, causing destruction to come on you, because he is quickly moved to wrath. Happy are all those who put their faith in him.
