Psalms

1Why do the nations rage,and the peoples plot a vain thing?

2The kings of the earth take a stand,and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his Anointed,saying,

3“Let’s break their bonds apart,and cast their cords from us.”

4He who sits in the heavens will laugh.The Lordwill have them in derision.

5Then he will speak to them in his anger,and terrify them in his wrath:

6“Yet I have set my King on my holy hill of Zion.”

7I will tell of the decree:The LORD said to me, “You are my son.Today I have become your father.

8Ask of me, and I will give the nations for your inheritance,the uttermost parts of the earth for your possession.

9You shall break them with a rod of iron.You shall dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel.”

10Now therefore be wise, you kings.Be instructed, you judges of the earth.

11Serve the LORD with fear,and rejoice with trembling.

12Give sincere homage to the Son,lest he be angry, and you perish on the way,for his wrath will soon be kindled. Blessed are all those who take refuge in him.

1Sao vạn quốc dám bày kế viển vông ?

2chống lại Đấng Người đã xức dầu phong vương.

3gông cùm họ, ta hãy quẳng đi !”

4Người chế nhạo bọn chúng.

5trút cơn thịnh nộ, khiến chúng kinh hoàng,

6lên trị vì Xi-on, núi thánh của Ta.”

7ngày hôm nay Cha đã sinh ra con.

8toàn cõi đất làm phần lãnh địa.

9nghiền nát chúng như đồ sành đồ gốm.”

10thủ lãnh trần gian, nào tỉnh ngộ !

11Đem lòng kính sợ mà phụng thờ ĐỨC CHÚA,

12thật hạnh phúc dường bao !
