Psalms 2 from Scroll 3Q2 Psalms

6 “Yet I have set my King on my holy hill of Zion.”

7 I will tell of the decree.

Yahweh said to me, “You are my son.

Today I have become your father.

 

Psalms 2 from Scroll 11Q7 Psalmsc

Why do the nations rage,

and the peoples plot a vain thing?

The kings of the earth take a stand,

and the rulers take counsel together,

against Yahweh, and against his Anointed, saying,

Let’s break their bonds apart,

and cast their cords from us.”

He who sits in the heavens will laugh.

The Lord will have them in derision.

Then he will speak to them in his anger,

and terrify them in his wrath:

“Yet I have set my King on my holy hill of Zion.”

I will tell of the decree.

Yahweh said to me, “You are my son.

Today I have become your father.

Ask of me, and I will give the nations for your inheritance,

the uttermost parts of the earth for your possession.

 

 

How to read these pages:

      The translation to the left is based on the World English Bible. Words in regular black font are words in the scrolls matching the traditional text for that passage.

      Words in italics cannot be seen in the scroll, since the scroll is fragmentary. These words are supplied for readability by the World English Bible translation.

      Words present in the scroll but with some letters unreadable or missing are in blue like this: blue. One Hebrew word often is translated into multiple English words, and when this occurs, all the English words are in blue.

      Words present in the scroll but with spelling differences that do not affect the meaning are in green like this: green. This is common in Hebrew.

      If the scroll is different from the traditional text, words in the traditional text that are missing from the text of the scroll are marked through in red like this: strike-through.

      If the scroll is different from the traditional text, words in the scroll that are not in the traditional text are underlined in red like this: new words.
