Psalms 2:1-6

¹Why this turmoil of nations, this futile plotting of peoples,

²with kings of the earth conspiring, and rulers consulting together, against the Lord and against his anointed,

³to snap their bonds and fling their cords away?

⁴He whose throne is in heaven laughs, the Lord mocks them.

⁵Then he speaks to them in his wrath, and in his hot anger confounds them.

⁶“This my king is installed by me, on Zion my holy mountain.”
