Psalm 2:1-7

Psalm 2 1Why do the nations conspire Hebrew; Septuagint rage and the peoples plot in vain?

2The kings of the earth rise up and the rulers band together against the LORD and against his anointed, saying,

3“Let us break their chains and throw off their shackles.”

4The One enthroned in heaven laughs; the Lord scoffs at them.

5He rebukes them in his anger and terrifies them in his wrath, saying,

6“I have installed my king on Zion, my holy mountain.”

7I will proclaim the LORD ’s decree: He said to me, “You are my son; today I have become your father.
