WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 ¿Por qué traman rebelión las naciones? Los pueblos conspiran, pero sin ningún sentido.
1 ¿POR qué se amotinan las gentes, y los pueblos piensan vanidad?
1 Why do the nations rage, and the peoples plot a vain thing?
2 Los reyes del mundo se preparan para el ataque, y los gobernantes se reúnen para conspirar contra el Señor y su ungido, diciendo:
2 Estarán los reyes de la tierra, y príncipes consultarán unidos contra Jehová, y contra su ungido, [diciendo]:
2 The kings of the earth take a stand, and the rulers take counsel together, against Yahweh, and against his Anointed, saying,
3 “Rompamos las cadenas y desechemos las cuerdas que nos atan”
3 Rompamos sus coyundas, y echemos de nosotros sus cuerdas.
3 “Let’s break their bonds apart, and cast their cords from us.”
4 Pero el que se sienta en el trono hasta se ríe. El Señor se ríe de ellos.
4 El que mora en los cielos se reirá; el Señor se burlará de ellos.
4 He who sits in the heavens will laugh. The Lord will have them in derision.
5 Con un trueno los espantará en medio de su furia, diciendo:
5 Entonces hablará á ellos en su furor, y turbarálos con su ira.
5 Then he will speak to them in his anger, and terrify them in his wrath:
6 “Yo soy quien puso a mi rey en Sión, mi monte sagrado”.
6 Yo empero he puesto mi rey sobre Sión, monte de mi santidad.
6 “Yet I have set my King on my holy hill of Zion.”
7 “Yo proclamaré el decreto del Señor”, dice el rey. “Él me dijo: ‘Tú eres mi hijo. Hoy me he convertido en tu padre.
7 Yo publicaré el decreto: Jehová me ha dicho: Mi hijo eres tú; yo te engendré hoy.
7 I will tell of the decree: Yahweh said to me, “You are my son. Today I have become your father.
8 Si me lo pides, te daré las naciones como posesión. Toda la tierra será tuya.
8 Pídeme, y te daré por heredad las gentes, y por posesión tuya los términos de la tierra.
8 Ask of me, and I will give the nations for your inheritance, the uttermost parts of the earth for your possession.
9 Los quebrantarás con vara de hierro, y como vasija de barro los desmenuzarás’”.
9 Quebrantarlos has con vara de hierro: como vaso de alfarero los desmenuzarás.
9 You shall break them with a rod of iron. You shall dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel.”
10 Entonces, ustedes los reyes, ¡Actúen con sabiduría! ¡Estén advertidos, gobernantes de la tierra!
10 Y ahora, reyes, entended: admitid corrección, jueces de la tierra.
10 Now therefore be wise, you kings. Be instructed, you judges of the earth.
11 ¡Sirvan al Señor con reverencia, y alégrense con temblor!
11 Servid á Jehová con temor, y alegraos con temblor.
11 Serve Yahweh with fear, and rejoice with trembling.
12 Sométanse a su hijo para que no se enoje y mueran repentinamente. Su ira se inflama de repente, pero felices son los que acuden a él buscando protección.
12 Besad al Hijo, porque no se enoje, y perezcáis en el camino, cuando se encendiere un poco su furor. Bienaventurados todos los que en él confían.
12 Give 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.

What the Fathers said

Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).

How these were chosen

“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).

  1. Commentary Augustine of Hippo, Expositions on the Psalms (Psalm II)

    (ver. 1). "The kings of the earth have stood up, and the rulers taken counsel together, against the Lord, and against His Christ" (ver. 2). It is said, "why?" as if it were said, in vain.

  2. Quotes verse 2:11 Polycarp of Smyrna, Epistle to the Philippians (The Epistle of Polycarp to the Philippians)

    "Wherefore, girding up your loins," "serve the Lord in fear" and truth, as those who have forsaken the vain, empty talk and error of the multitude, and "believed in Him who raised up our Lord Jesus Christ from the dead, and gave Him glory," and a throne at His right hand.

    … Christ are human beings, who from various and diverse nations come together into one cohort of faith, as the Father promised Him, saying, "Ask of Me, and I will give Thee the heathen for Thine inheritance, the uttermost parts of the earth for Thy possession." And as from the multitude of his sons the prophets of the Lord [afterwards] arose, …

  4. Quotes verse 2:11 Augustine of Hippo, Confessions (Book VII, Chapters XX–XXI)

    And the face of that pure speech appeared to me one and the same; and I learned to "rejoice with trembling." So I commenced, and found that whatsoever truth I had there read was declared here with the recommendation of Thy grace; that he who sees may not so glory as if he had not received not only that which …

    … but that He is also the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, they admit not; being of a contrary mind to their own Prophets, who in the Divine Scriptures affirm, The Lord said unto me, Thou art My Son, this day have I begotten thee.
