New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures (nwt, en_US, 2013)
Psalm
Psalm, 2
1 Why are the nations agitated And the peoples muttering*1 an empty thing?
|
2 The kings of the earth take their stand And high officials gather together*1 as one Against Jehovah and against his anointed one.*2
|
3 They say: “Let us tear off their shackles And throw off their ropes!”
4 The One enthroned in the heavens will laugh; Jehovah will scoff at them.
5 At that time he will speak to them in his anger And terrify them in his burning anger,
6 Saying: “I myself have installed my king On Zion, my holy mountain.”
7 Let me proclaim the decree of Jehovah; He said to me: “You are my son; Today I have become your father.
8 Ask of me, and I will give nations as your inheritance And the ends of the earth as your possession.
9 You will break them with an iron scepter, And you will smash them like a piece of pottery.”
10 So now, you kings, show insight; Accept correction,*1 you judges of the earth.
|
11 Serve Jehovah with fear, And rejoice with trembling.
12 Honor*1 the son, or God*2 will become indignant And you will perish from the way, For His anger flares up quickly. Happy are all those taking refuge in Him.
