Septuagint (Greek Old Testament), second edition
1Why have the Gentiles raged, and the people devised vain things?
1ΙΝΑΤΙ ἐφρύαξαν ἔθνη, καὶ λαοὶ ἐμελέτησαν κενά;
2The kings of the earth stood up, and the princes met together, against the Lord and against his Christ.
2παρέστησαν οἱ βασιλεῖς τῆς γῆς, καὶ οἱ ἄρχοντες συνήχθησαν ἐπὶ τὸ αὐτὸ κατὰ τοῦ Κυρίου καὶ κατὰ τοῦ χριστοῦ αὐτοῦ. (διάψαλμα).
3Let us break their bonds asunder: and let us cast away their yoke from us.
3Διαρρήξωμεν τοὺς δεσμοὺς αὐτῶν καὶ ἀπορρίψωμεν ἀφ᾿ ἡμῶν τὸν ζυγὸν αὐτῶν.
4He that dwelleth in heaven shall laugh at them: and the Lord shall deride them.
4ὁ κατοικῶν ἐν οὐρανοῖς ἐκγελάσεται αὐτούς, καὶ ὁ Κύριος ἐκμυκτηριεῖ αὐτούς.
5Then shall he speak to them in his anger, and trouble them in his rage.
5τότε λαλήσει πρὸς αὐτοὺς ἐν ὀργῇ αὐτοῦ καὶ ἐν τῷ θυμῷ αὐτοῦ ταράξει αὐτούς.
6But I am appointed king by him over Sion his holy mountain, preaching his commandment.
6Ἐγὼ δὲ κατεστάθην βασιλεὺς ὑπ᾿ αὐτοῦ ἐπὶ Σιὼν ὄρος τὸ ἅγιον αὐτοῦ
7The Lord hath said to me: Thou art my son, this day have I begotten thee.
7διαγγέλλων τὸ πρόσταγμα Κυρίου. Κύριος εἶπε πρός με· υἱός μου εἶ σύ, ἐγὼ σήμερον γεγέννηκά σε.
8Ask of me, and I will give thee the Gentiles for thy inheritance, and the utmost parts of the earth for thy possession.
8αἴτησαι παρ᾿ ἐμοῦ, καὶ δώσω σοι ἔθνη τὴν κληρονομίαν σου καὶ τὴν κατάσχεσίν σου τὰ πέρατα τῆς γῆς.
9Thou shalt rule them with a rod of iron, and shalt break them in pieces like a potter’s vessel.
9ποιμανεῖς αὐτοὺς ἐν ράβδῳ σιδηρᾷ, ὡς σκεύη κεραμέως συντρίψεις αὐτούς.
10And now, O ye kings, understand: receive instruction, you that judge the earth.
10καὶ νῦν, βασιλεῖς, σύνετε, παιδεύθητε, πάντες οἱ κρίνοντες τὴν γῆν.
11Serve ye the Lord with fear: and rejoice unto him with trembling.
11δουλεύσατε τῷ Κυρίῳ ἐν φόβῳ καὶ ἀγαλλιᾶσθε αὐτῷ ἐν τρόμῳ.
12Embrace discipline, lest at any time the Lord be angry, and you perish from the just way.
12δράξασθε παιδείας, μήποτε ὀργισθῇ Κύριος καὶ ἀπολεῖσθε ἐξ ὁδοῦ δικαίας.
13When his wrath shall be kindled in a short time, blessed are all they that trust in him.
13ὅταν ἐκκαυθῇ ἐν τάχει ὁ θυμὸς αὐτοῦ, μακάριοι πάντες οἱ πεποιθότες ἐπ᾿ αὐτῷ.
