Psalms 2:3-9

³“Let's break the chains and throw away the cords that bind us.”

⁴But the one who sits enthroned in heaven laughs. The Lord mocks them.

⁵He will thunder at them, and terrify them in his fury, saying,

⁶“It is I who placed my king on Zion, my holy mountain.”

⁷“I will proclaim the Lord's decree,” says the king. “He told me, ‘You are my son. Today I have become your father.

⁸Ask me, and I will give you the nations as your possessions—the whole earth will belong to you.

⁹You will break them with a rod of iron, smashing them like pottery.’”
