1 Quare fremuerunt gentes, et populi meditati sunt inania ?
2 Astiterunt reges terræ, et principes convenerunt in unum adversus Dominum, et adversus christum ejus.
3 Dirumpamus vincula eorum, et projiciamus a nobis jugum ipsorum.
4 Qui habitat in cælis irridebit eos, et Dominus subsannabit eos.
5 Tunc loquetur ad eos in ira sua, et in furore suo conturbabit eos.
6 Ego autem constitutus sum rex ab eo super Sion, montem sanctum ejus, prædicans præceptum ejus.
7 Dominus dixit ad me : Filius meus es tu ; ego hodie genui te.
8 Postula a me, et dabo tibi gentes hæreditatem tuam, et possessionem tuam terminos terræ.
9 Reges eos in virga ferrea, et tamquam vas figuli confringes eos.
10 Et nunc, reges, intelligite; erudimini, qui judicatis terram.
11 Servite Domino in timore, et exsultate ei cum tremore.
12 Apprehendite disciplinam, nequando irascatur Dominus, et pereatis de via justa.
13 Cum exarserit in brevi ira ejus, beati omnes qui confidunt in eo.

Church of England 1662 Book of Common Prayer

Image:English.png English text

1 Why do the heathen so furiously rage together : and why do the people imagine a vain thing?
2 The kings of the earth stand up, and the rulers take counsel together : against the Lord, and against his Anointed.
3 Let us break their bonds asunder : and cast away their cords from us.
4 He that dwelleth in heaven shall laugh them to scorn : 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 Sion.
7 I will preach the law, whereof the Lord hath said unto me : Thou art my Son, this day have I begotten thee.
8 Desire of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance: and the utmost parts of the earth for thy possession.
9 Thou shalt bruise them with a rod of iron : and break them in pieces like a potter's vessel.
10 Be wise now therefore, O ye kings : be learned, ye that are judges of the earth.
11 Serve the Lord in fear : and rejoice unto him with reverence.
12 Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and so ye perish from the right way : if his wrath be kindled, (yea, but a little,) blessed are all they that put their trust in him.

King James Version

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.

Matthew Parker's Psalter

Image:English.png English text

Psalme. II.

The Argument. Psalme. II.

Of Christ ye see
A Prophecie
Thus Dauid spake with vs:
As merueiling
That earthly king
Should rage against him thus

Quare fremuerunt.

1. Why fumeth in sight: the Gentils spite,
In fury raging stout?
Why taketh in hond: the people fond,
Uayne thinges to bring about?

2. The kinges arise: the lordes deuise,
in counsayles mett therto:
Agaynst the Lord: with false accord,
against his Christ they go.

3. Let vs they say: breake downe their ray,
of all their bondes and cordes:
We will renounce: that they pronounce,
their loores as stately lordes.

4. But God of might: in heauen so bright,
Shall laugh them all to scorne:
The Lord on hie: shall them defie,
they shall be once forlorne.

5. Then shall his ire: speake all in fire,
to them agayne therfore:
He shall with threate: their malice beate,
in his displeasure sore.

6. Yet am I set: a king so great,
on Sion hill full fast:
Though me they kill: yet will that hill,
my lawe and worde outcast.

7. Gods wordes decreed: I (Christ) wil sprede
for God thus sayd to me/e:
My sonne I say: thou art, this day,
I haue begotten the/e.

8. Aske thou of me/e: I will geue the/e,
to rule all Gentils londes:
Thou shalt possesse: in suernesse,
the world how wide it stondes.

9. With iron rod: as mighty God,
all rebels shalt thou bruse:
And breake them all: in pieces small,
as sherdes the potters vse.

10. Be wise therfore: ye kinges the more,
Receyue ye wisdomes lore:
Ye iudges strong: of right and wrong,
aduise you now before.

11. The Lorde in feare: your seruice beare,
with dread to him reioyce:
Let rages be: resist not ye,
him serue with ioyfull voyce.

12. The sonne kisse ye: lest wroth he be,
lose not the way of rest:
For when his ire: is set on fire,
who trust in hym be blest.

New Version Metrical Psalter (Tate and Brady 1696)

Image:English.png English text

1.With restless and ungovern'd rage
Why do the heathen storm?
Why in such rash attempts engage,
As they can ne'er perform?

2.The great in counsel and in might
Their various forces bring;
Against the Lord they all unite,
And His anointed King.

3."Must we submit to their commands?"
Presumptuously they say;
"No, let us break their slavish bands,
And cast their chains away."

4.But God, who sits enthroned on high,
And sees how they combine,
Does their conspiring strength defy,
And mocks their vain design.

5.Thick clouds of wrath divine shall break
On his rebellious foes;
And thus will He in thunder speak
To all that dare oppose:

6."Though madly you dispute my will,
The King that I ordain,
Whose throne is fix'd on Zion's hill,
Shall there securely reign."

7.Attend, O earth, whilst I declare
God's uncontroll'd decree;
"Thou art my Son, this day my heir
Have I begotten thee.

8."Ask and receive Thy full demands;
Thine shall the heathen be;
The utmost limits of the lands
Shall be possess'd by thee.

9.Thy threat'ning scepter thou shalt shake,
And crush them every where;
As massy bars of iron break
The potter's brittle ware."

10.Learn then, ye princes, and give ear,
Ye judges of the earth;
Worship the Lord with holy fear;
Rejoice with awful mirth.

11.Appease the Son with due respect,
Your timely homage pay;
Lest he revenge the bold neglect,
Incens'd by your delay.

12.If but in part his anger rise,
Who can endure the flame?
Then blest are they whose hope relies
On his most holy Name.

Nahum Tate (1652-1715) Nicholas Brady (1659-1736) A New Version of the Psalms of David, 1696.

Luther's translation

Image:German.png German text

1 Warum toben die Heiden, und die Leute reden so vergeblich?
2 Die Könige im Lande lehnen sich auf, und die HERREN ratschlagen miteinander wider den HERRN und seinen Gesalbten:
3 Lasset uns zerreißen ihre Bande und von uns werfen ihre Seile!
4 Aber der im Himmel wohnet, lachet ihrer, und der HERR spottet ihrer.
5 Er wird einst mit ihnen reden in seinem Zorn, und mit seinem Grimm wird er sie schrecken.
6 Aber ich habe meinen König eingesetzt auf meinem heiligen Berg Zion.
7 Ich will von einer solchen Weise predigen, daß der HERR zu mir gesagt hat: Du bist mein Sohn, heute hab ich dich gezeuget.
8 Heische von mir, so will ich dir die Heiden zum Erbe geben und der Welt Ende zum Eigentum.
9 Du sollst sie mit einem eisernen Zepter zerschlagen; wie Töpfe sollst du sie zerschmeißen.
10 So laßt euch nun weisen, ihr Könige, und laßt euch züchtigen, ihr Richter auf Erden!
11 Dienet dem HERRN mit Furcht und freuet euch mit Zittern!
12 Küsset den Sohn, daß er nicht zürne und ihr umkommet auf dem Wege; denn sein Zorn wird bald anbrennen. Aber wohl allen, die auf ihn trauen!
