1 Ἵνα τί ἐφρύαξαν ἔθνη
καὶ λαοὶ ἐμελέτησαν κενά;
2 παρέστησαν οἱ βασιλεῖς τῆς γῆς,
καὶ οἱ ἄρχοντες συνήχθησαν ἐπὶ τὸ αὐτὸ
κατὰ τοῦ κυρίου καὶ κατὰ τοῦ χριστοῦ αὐτοῦ
διάψαλμα
3 Διαρρήξωμεν τοὺς δεσμοὺς αὐτῶν
καὶ ἀπορρίψωμεν ἀφ᾽ ἡμῶν τὸν ζυγὸν αὐτῶν.
4 ὁ κατοικῶν ἐν οὐρανοῖς ἐκγελάσεται αὐτούς,
καὶ ὁ κύριος ἐκμυκτηριεῖ αὐτούς.
5 τότε λαλήσει πρὸς αὐτοὺς ἐν ὀργῇ αὐτοῦ
καὶ ἐν τῷ θυμῷ αὐτοῦ ταράξει αὐτούς
6 Ἐγὼ δὲ κατεστάθην βασιλεὺς ὑπ᾽ αὐτοῦ
ἐπὶ Σιων ὄρος τὸ ἅγιον αὐτοῦ
7 διαγγέλλων τὸ πρόσταγμα κυρίου
Κύριος εἶπεν πρός με Υἱός μου εἶ σύ, ἐγὼ σήμερον γεγέννηκά σε·
8 αἴτησαι παρ᾽ ἐμοῦ, καὶ δώσω σοι ἔθνη τὴν κληρονομίαν σου
καὶ τὴν κατάσχεσίν σου τὰ πέρατα τῆς γῆς·
9 ποιμανεῖς αὐτοὺς ἐν ῥάβδῳ σιδηρᾷ,
ὡς σκεῦος κεραμέως συντρίψεις αὐτούς.
10 καὶ νῦν, βασιλεῖς, σύνετε·
παιδεύθητε, πάντες οἱ κρίνοντες τὴν γῆν.
11 δουλεύσατε τῷ κυρίῳ ἐν φόβῳ
καὶ ἀγαλλιᾶσθε αὐτῷ ἐν τρόμῳ.
12 δράξασθε παιδείας, μήποτε ὀργισθῇ κύριος
καὶ ἀπολεῖσθε ἐξ ὁδοῦ δικαίας.
ὅταν ἐκκαυθῇ ἐν τάχει ὁ θυμὸς αὐτοῦ,
μακάριοι πάντες οἱ πεποιθότες ἐπ᾽ αὐτῷ.
1 Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine 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 bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.
4 He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision.
5 Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure.
6 Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.
7 I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee.
8 Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession.
9 Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel.
10 Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth.
11 Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.
12 Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.
