1 Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing?
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 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, [saying] ,
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 Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us.
3 Rompamos sus coyundas, y echemos de nosotros sus cuerdas.
3 “Let’s break their bonds apart, and cast their cords from us.”
4 He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the LORD shall have them in derision.
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 Then shall he speak to them in his wrath, and trouble them in his sore displeasure.
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 Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion.
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 I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said to me, Thou [art] my Son; this day have I begotten thee.
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 Ask of me, and I will give [thee] the heathen [for] thy inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth [for] thy possession.
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 Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter's vessel.
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 Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth.
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 Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling.
11 Servid á Jehová con temor, y alegraos con temblor.
11 Serve Yahweh 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.
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).
(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.

… 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, …
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.
