1 W hy are the nations in an uproar And the peoples devising a vain thing?

¿Por qué se amotinan las gentes y los pueblos piensan cosas vanas?

2 T he kings of the earth take their stand And the rulers take counsel together Against the Lord and against His Anointed, saying,

Se levantarán los reyes de la tierra, y príncipes conspirarán contra Jehová y contra su ungido, diciendo:

3 “ Let us tear their fetters apart And cast away their cords from us!”

«Rompamos sus ligaduras y echemos de nosotros sus cuerdas.»

4 H e who sits in the heavens laughs, The Lord scoffs at them.

El que mora en los cielos se reirá; el Señor se burlará de ellos.

5 T hen He will speak to them in His anger And terrify them in His fury, saying,

Luego les hablará en su furor, y los turbará con su ira:

6 “ But as for Me, I have installed My King Upon Zion, My holy mountain.”

«Yo he puesto mi rey sobre Sión, mi santo monte.»

7 “ I will surely tell of the decree of the Lord: He said to Me, ‘You are My Son, Today I have begotten You.

Yo publicaré el decreto; Jehová me ha dicho: «Mi hijo eres tú; yo te engendré hoy.

8 ‘ Ask of Me, and I will surely give the nations as Your inheritance, And the very ends of the earth as Your possession.

Pídeme, y te daré por herencia las naciones y como posesión tuya los confines de la tierra.

9 ‘ You shall break them with a rod of iron, You shall shatter them like earthenware.’”

Los quebrantarás con vara de hierro; como a vasija de alfarero los desmenuzarás.»

10 N ow therefore, O kings, show discernment; Take warning, O judges of the earth.

Ahora, pues, reyes, sed prudentes; admitid amonestación, jueces de la tierra.

11 W orship the Lord with reverence And rejoice with trembling.

Servid a Jehová con temor y alegraos con temblor.

12 D o homage to the Son, that He not become angry, and you perish in the way, For His wrath may soon be kindled. How blessed are all who take refuge in Him!

Honrad al Hijo, para que no se enoje y perezcáis en el camino, pues se inflama de pronto su ira. ¡Bienaventurados todos los que en él confían!
