Psalm II

English Latin

English

1. Why do the nations protest and the peoples grumble in vain?
2. Kings on earth rise up and princes plot together against the LORD and his anointed:
3. "Let us break their shackles and cast off their chains!"
4. The one enthroned in heaven laughs; the Lord derides them,
5. Then speaks to them in anger, terrifies them in wrath:
6. "I myself have installed my king on Zion, my holy mountain."
7. I will proclaim the decree of the LORD, who said to me, "You are my son; today I am your father.
8. Only ask it of me, and I will make your inheritance the nations, your possession the ends of the earth.
9. With an iron rod you shall shepherd them, like a clay pot you will shatter them."
10. And now, kings, give heed; take warning, rulers on earth.
11. Serve the LORD with fear; with trembling bow down in homage, Lest God be angry and you perish from the way in a sudden blaze of anger. Happy are all who take refuge in God!

Latin

Ant. Regnun eius, regnum sempiternum est, et omnes reges servient ei et oboedient (T.P. Alleluia).
1. Quare fremuerunt gentes et populi meditati sunt inania?
2. Astiterunt reges terrae et principes convenerunt in unum adversus Dominum et adversus christum eius.
3. Dirumpamus vincula eorum et proiciamus a nobis iugum ipsorum.
4. Qui habitat in caelis inridebit eos et Dominus subsannabit eos.
5. Tunc loquetur ad eos in ira sua et in furore suo conturbabit eos.
6. Ego autem constitui regem meum super Sion montem sanctum meum.
7. Praedicabo decretum eius. Dominus dixit ad me: "Filius meus es tu; ego hodie genui te".
8. Postula a me, et dabo tibi gentes hereditatem tuam et possessionem tuam terminos terrae.
9. Reges eos in virga ferrea et tamquam vas figuli confringes eos.
10. Et nunc reges intellegite, erudimini qui iudicatis terram.
11. Servite Domino in timore et exultate ei cum tremore.
12. Aprehendite disciplinam, nequando irascatur, et pereatis de via, cum exarserit in brevi ira eius. Beati omnes, qui confidunt in eo.
