Psalm 2
His kingdom is a kingdom of all ages, and all kings shall serve and obey Him.
Regnum eius regnum sempitérnum est, et omnes reges sérvient ei et obœdient.
1. Why this tumult among nations, among peoples this useless murmuring?
1. Quare fremuérunt gentes, et pópuli meditáti sunt inánia?
2. They arise, the kings of the earth; princes plot against the Lord and his Anointed.
2. Astitérunt reges terræ, et príncipes convenérunt in unum advérsus Dóminum et advérsus Christum eius:
3. “Come, let us break their fetters; come, let us cast off their yoke.”
3. «Dirumpámus víncula eórum et proiciámus a nobis iugum ipsórum!».
4. He who sits in the heavens laughs; the Lord is laughing them to scorn.
4. Qui hábitat in cælis, irridébit eos, Dóminus subsannábit eos.
5. Then He will speak in his anger, his rage will strike them with terror.
5. Tunc loquétur ad eos in ira sua et in furóre suo conturbábit eos:
6. “It is I who have set up my king on Zion, my holy mountain.”
6. «Ego autem constítui regem meum super Sion, montem sanctum meum!».
7. I will announce the decree of the Lord: the Lord said to me: “You are my Son. It is I who have begotten you this day.
7. Prædicábo decrétum eius. Dóminus dixit ad me: «Fílius meus es tu; ego hódie génui te.
8. “Ask and I shall bequeath to you the nations, put the ends of the earth in your possession.
8. Póstula a me, et dabo tibi gentes hereditátem tuam et possessiónem tuam términos terræ.
9. “With a rod of iron you will break them shatter them like a potter’s jar.”
9. Reges eos in virga férrea et tamquam vas fíguli confrínges eos».
10. Now, O kings, understand; take warning, rulers of the earth;
10. Et nunc, reges, intellégite, erudímini, qui iudicátis terram.
11. Serve the Lord with awe and trembling.
11. Servíte Dómino in timóre et exsultáte ei cum tremóre.
12. Pay Him your homage, lest He be angry and you perish, for suddenly his anger will blaze. Blessed are they who put their trust in God.
12. Apprehéndite disciplínam, ne quando irascátur, et pereátis de via, cum exárserit in brevi ira eius. Beati omnes, qui confídunt in eo.
13. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit.
13. Glória Patri, et Fílio, et Spirítui Sancto.
14. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
14. Sicut erat in princípio, et nunc, et semper, et in sǽcula sæculórum. Amen.
His kingdom is a kingdom of all ages, and all kings shall serve and obey Him.
Regnum eius regnum sempitérnum est, et omnes reges sérvient ei et obœdient.
O Lord, hear my prayer.
Dómine, exaudi oratiónem meam.
And let my cry come unto You.
Et clamor meus ad te véniat.
Priests add:
The Lord be with you.
Dóminus vobíscum.
And with your spirit.
Et cum spíritu tuo.
Let us pray
Almighty and eternal God, You have renewed all creation in your beloved Son, the King of the whole universe. May all the people of the earth, now torn apart by the wound of sin, become subject to the gentle rule of your only-begotten Son: who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.
Omnípotens sempitérne Deus, qui in dilécto Fílio tuo, universórum Rege, ómnia instauráre voluísti: concéde propítius; ut cunctæ famíliæ géntium, peccáti vúlnere disgregátæ, eius suavíssimo subdántur império: Qui tecum vivit et regnat in unitáte Spíritus Sancti Deus: per ómnia sǽcula sæculórum.
Amen.
Amen.
