Psalm 2
New King James Version
The Messiah’s Triumph and Kingdom
2 Why do the nations rage,
And the people plot a vain thing?
2 The kings of the earth set themselves,
And the rulers take counsel together,
Against the Lord and against His Anointed, saying,
3 “Let us break Their bonds in pieces
And cast away Their cords from us.”
4 He who sits in the heavens shall laugh;
The Lord shall hold them in derision.
5 Then He shall speak to them in His wrath,
And distress them in His deep displeasure:
6 “Yet I have set My King
On My holy hill of Zion.”
7 “I will declare the decree:
The Lord has said to Me,
‘You are My Son,
Today I have begotten You.
8 Ask of Me, and I will give You
The nations for Your inheritance,
And the ends of the earth for Your possession.
9 You shall break them with a rod of iron;
You shall dash them to pieces like a potter’s vessel.’ ”
10 Now therefore, be wise, O kings;
Be instructed, you judges of the earth.
11 Serve the Lord with fear,
And rejoice with trembling.
12 Kiss the Son, lest He be angry,
And you perish in the way,
When His wrath is kindled but a little.
Blessed are all those who put their trust in Him.

Reina Valera Actualizada
El ungido asume el trono
2 ¿Por qué se amotinan las naciones
y los pueblos traman cosas vanas?
2 Se presentan los reyes de la tierra,
y los gobernantes consultan unidos contra el SEÑOR y su ungido, diciendo:
3 “¡Rompamos sus ataduras!
¡Echemos de nosotros sus cuerdas!”.
4 El que habita en los cielos se reirá;
el Señor se burlará de ellos.
5 Entonces les hablará en su ira
y los turbará en su furor:
6 “¡Yo he instalado a mi rey
en Sion, mi monte santo!”.
7 Yo declararé el decreto:
el SEÑOR me ha dicho:
“Tú eres mi hijo; yo te engendré hoy.
8 Pídeme, y te daré por heredad
las naciones,
y por posesión tuya los confines de
la tierra.
9 Tú los quebrantarás con vara de hierro; como a vasija de alfarero los
desmenuzarás”.
10 Y ahora, oh reyes, sean sabios; acepten la corrección, oh gobernantes de la tierra.
11 Sirvan al SEÑOR con temor
y alégrense con temblor.
12 Besen al hijo, no sea que se enoje
y pierdan el camino;
pues se enciende de pronto su ira. ¡Bienaventurados todos los que en
él se refugian!
