Psalms 2:1-7

¹Why are the nations so violently moved, and why are the thoughts of the people so foolish?

²The kings of the earth have taken their place, and the rulers are fixed in their purpose, against the Lord, and against the king of his selection, saying,

³Let their chains be broken, and their cords taken from off us.

⁴Then he whose seat is in the heavens will be laughing: the Lord will make sport of them.

⁵Then will his angry words come to their ears, and by his wrath they will be troubled:

⁶But I have put my king on my holy hill of Zion.

⁷I will make clear the Lord's decision: he has said to me, You are my son, this day have I given you being.
