[1]WHY do the Gentiles rage and the peoples imagine vain things? |
| [2]The kyngis of erthe stoden togidere; and princes camen togidere ayens the Lord, and ayens his Crist? |
[2]The kings of the earth and the rulers have conspired and have taken counsel together against the LORD and against his anointed, saying, |
| [3]Breke we the bondis of hem; and cast we awei the yok of hem fro vs. |
[3]Let us break their bands asunder, and let us cast away their yoke from us. |
| [4]He that dwellith in heuenes schal scorne hem; and the Lord schal bimowe hem. |
[4]He that dwells in heaven shall laugh, and the LORD shall mock at them. |
| [5]Thanne he schal speke to hem in his ire; and he schal disturble hem in his stronge veniaunce. |
[5]Then shall he speak to them in his anger, and terrify them in his wrath and say, |
| [6]Forsothe Y am maad of hym a kyng on Syon, his hooli hil; prechynge his comaundement. |
[6]I have appointed my king over Zion, my holy mountain, |
| [7]The Lord seide to me, Thou art my sone; Y haue gendrid thee to dai. |
[7]To declare my promise; the LORD has said to me, You are my Son; this day have I begotten you. |
| [8]Axe thou of me, and Y schal yyue to thee hethene men thin eritage; and thi possessioun the termes of erthe. |
[8]Ask of me, and I shall give you the heathen for your inheritance and the uttermost parts of the earth for your dominion. |
| [9]Thou schalt gouerne hem in an yrun yerde; and thou schalt breke hem as the vessel of a pottere. |
[9]You shall shepherd them with a rod of iron; you shall break them in pieces like a potter's vessel. |
| [10]And now, ye kyngis, vndurstonde; ye that demen the erthe, be lerud. |
[10]Be wise now, therefore, O kings; be instructed, O judges of the earth. |
| [11]Serue ye the Lord with drede; and make ye ful ioye to hym with tremblyng. |
[11]Serve the LORD with reverence, and uphold him with trembling. |
| [12]Take ye lore; lest the Lord be wrooth sumtyme, and lest ye perischen fro iust waie. |
[12]Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and you perish from his way while his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him. |
