1ινα τι εφρυαξαν εθνη και λαοι εμελε>τηϲαν κενα 2παρεϲτηϲαν οι βαϲιλειϲ τηϲ γηϲ και οι αρχοντεϲ ϲυνηχθηϲαν επι το αυτο κατα του κυ και κατα του χυ αυτου διαψαλμα 3διαρρηξωμεν τουϲ δεϲμουϲ αυτων και απορριψωμεν αφ ημων τον ζυγον αυτων 4ο κατοικων εν ουρανοιϲ εκγελαϲεται α̣υτουϲ και ο κϲ εκμυκτηριει αυτουϲ 5τοτε λαληϲει προϲ αυτουϲ εν οργη αυτου και εν τω θυμω αυτου ταραξει αυτουϲ
1Why do the heathen rage, and the people imagine a vain thing? 2The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his anointed, saying, 3Let us break their bands asunder, and cast away their cords from us. 4He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh: the Lord shall have them in derision. 5Then shall he speak unto them in his wrath, and vex them in his sore displeasure.
6εγω δε κατεϲταθην βαϲιλευϲ υπ αυτου επι ϲειων οροϲ το αγιον αυτου 7διαγγελλων το προϲταγμα κυ κϲ ειπεν προϲ με υϊοϲ μου ει ϲυ εγω ϲημερον γεγεννηκα ϲε 8αιτηϲαι παρ εμου και δωϲω ϲοι εθνη την κληρονομιαν ϲου και την καταϲχεϲιν ϲου τα περατα τηϲ γηϲ 9ποιμανειϲ αυτουϲ εν ραβδω ϲιδηρα ωϲ ϲκευοϲ κεραμεωϲ ϲυντριψειϲ αυτουϲ 10και νυν βαϲιλειϲ ϲυνετε παιδευθητε παντεϲ οι κρινοντεϲ την γην
6Yet have I set my king upon my holy hill of Zion. 7I will declare the decree: the LORD hath said unto me, Thou art my Son; this day have I begotten thee. 8Ask of me, and I shall give thee the heathen for thine inheritance, and the uttermost parts of the earth for thy possession. 9Thou shalt break them with a rod of iron; thou shalt dash them in pieces like a potter’s vessel. 10Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth.
11δουλευϲατε τω κω εν φοβω και αγαλλιαϲθε αυτω εν τρομω 12δραξαϲθε παιδιαϲ μηποτε οργιϲθη κϲ και απολειϲθε εξ οδου δικαιαϲ οταν εκκαυθη εν ταχει ο θυμοϲ αυτου μακαριοι παντεϲ οι πεποιθοτεϲ επ αυτω
11Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling. 12Kiss 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.
