Psalms 2:1-7

¹Why do the nations rage, and the peoples plot a vain thing?

²The kings of the earth take a stand, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD, and against his Anointed, saying,

³“Let’s break their bonds apart, and cast their cords from us.”

⁴He who sits in the heavens will laugh. The Lord will have them in derision.

⁵Then he will speak to them in his anger, and terrify them in his wrath:

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

⁷I will tell of the decree: The LORD said to me, “You are my son. Today I have become your father.
