1898 Young's Literal Translation (YLT)

1 The Kingdom of Christ. 10 Kings are exhorted to accept it.

2:1 ¶ Why have nations tumultuously assembled? And do peoples meditate vanity?

2:2 Station themselves do kings of the earth, And princes have been united together, Against Jehovah, and against His Messiah:

2:3 'Let us draw off Their cords, And cast from us Their thick bands.'

2:4 He who is sitting in the heavens doth laugh, The Lord doth mock at them.

2:5 Then doth He speak unto them in His anger, And in His wrath He doth trouble them:

2:6 'And I—I have anointed My King, Upon Zion—My holy hill.'

2:7 I declare concerning a statute: Jehovah said unto me, 'My Son Thou [art], I to-day have brought thee forth.

2:8 Ask of Me and I give nations—thy inheritance, And thy possession—the ends of earth.

2:9 Thou dost rule them with a sceptre of iron, As a vessel of a potter Thou dost crush them.'

2:10 And now, O kings, act wisely, Be instructed, O judges of earth,

2:11 Serve ye Jehovah with fear, And rejoice with trembling.

2:12 Kiss the Chosen One, lest He be angry, And ye lose the way, When His anger burneth but a little, O the happiness of all trusting in Him!
