Be wise now therefore, O ye kings: be instructed, ye judges of the earth.

Verse 10 is found in chapter 2 of Psalms. Psalm 2 presents a conflict between the rebellion of the nations and the government established by God. Human kings conspire against the Lord and his anointed, but the divine response is not uncertain: God asserts his sovereignty and declares the king to be his son within the context of Davidic kingship. The final invitation to serve the Lord with fear and take refuge in him turns the psalm into a reflection on authority, judgment, and trust.

So lasset euch nun weisen, ihr Könige, und lasset euch züchtigen, ihr Richter auf Erden!
Y ahora, reyes, entended: Admitid corrección, jueces de la tierra.
Ahora, reyes, actúen con prudencia; reciban corrección, jueces de la tierra.
Et maintenant, rois, conduisez-vous avec sagesse! Juges de la terre, recevez instruction!
Ora dunque, o re, siate savi; Giudici della terra, ricevete correzione.
Agora, pois, ó reis, sede prudentes; deixai-vos instruir, juízes da terra.
現在,君王啊,應當謹慎! 世上的審判官哪,要聽勸戒!
