| א לָמָּה, רָגְשׁוּ גוֹיִם; וּלְאֻמִּים, יֶהְגּוּ-רִיק. |
1 Why are the nations in an uproar? And why do the peoples mutter in vain? |
ב יִתְיַצְּבוּ, מַלְכֵי-אֶרֶץ– וְרוֹזְנִים נוֹסְדוּ-יָחַד:
עַל-יְהוָה, וְעַל-מְשִׁיחוֹ. |
2 The kings of the earth stand up, and the rulers take counsel together, {N}
against the LORD, and against His anointed: |
| ג נְנַתְּקָה, אֶת-מוֹסְרוֹתֵימוֹ; וְנַשְׁלִיכָה מִמֶּנּוּ עֲבֹתֵימוֹ. |
3 ‘Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.’ |
| ד יוֹשֵׁב בַּשָּׁמַיִם יִשְׂחָק: אֲדֹנָי, יִלְעַג-לָמוֹ. |
4 He that sitteth in heaven laugheth, the Lord hath them in derision. |
| ה אָז יְדַבֵּר אֵלֵימוֹ בְאַפּוֹ; וּבַחֲרוֹנוֹ יְבַהֲלֵמוֹ. |
5 Then will He speak unto them in His wrath, and affright them in His sore displeasure: |
| ו וַאֲנִי, נָסַכְתִּי מַלְכִּי: עַל-צִיּוֹן, הַר-קָדְשִׁי. |
6 ‘Truly it is I that have established My king upon Zion, My holy mountain.’ |
| ז אֲסַפְּרָה, אֶל-חֹק: יְהוָה, אָמַר אֵלַי בְּנִי אַתָּה–אֲנִי, הַיּוֹם יְלִדְתִּיךָ. |
7 I will tell of the decree: the LORD said unto me: ‘Thou art My son, this day have I begotten thee. |
| ח שְׁאַל מִמֶּנִּי–וְאֶתְּנָה גוֹיִם, נַחֲלָתֶךָ; וַאֲחֻזָּתְךָ, אַפְסֵי-אָרֶץ. |
8 Ask of Me, and I will give the nations for thine inheritance, and the ends of the earth for thy possession. |
| ט תְּרֹעֵם, בְּשֵׁבֶט בַּרְזֶל: כִּכְלִי יוֹצֵר תְּנַפְּצֵם. |
9 Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel.’ |
| י וְעַתָּה, מְלָכִים הַשְׂכִּילוּ; הִוָּסְרוּ, שֹׁפְטֵי אָרֶץ. |
10 Now therefore, O ye kings, be wise; be admonished, ye judges of the earth. |
| יא עִבְדוּ אֶת-יְהוָה בְּיִרְאָה; וְגִילוּ, בִּרְעָדָה. |
11 Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling. |
יב נַשְּׁקוּ-בַר, פֶּן-יֶאֱנַף וְתֹאבְדוּ דֶרֶךְ– כִּי-יִבְעַר כִּמְעַט אַפּוֹ:
אַשְׁרֵי, כָּל-חוֹסֵי בוֹ. |
12 Do homage in purity, lest He be angry, and ye perish in the way, when suddenly His wrath is kindled. {N}
Happy are all they that take refuge in Him. {P} |
