Psalms 2:1-7 ▼

1 Why are the nations in an uproar? And why do the peoples mutter in vain?

2 The kings of the earth stand up, And the rulers take counsel together, Against the LORD, and against His anointed:

3 Let us break their bands asunder, And cast away their cords from us.'

4 He that sitteth in heaven laugheth, The Lord hath them in derision.

5 Then will He speak unto them in His wrath, And affright them in His sore displeasure:

6 Truly it is I that have established My king Upon Zion, My holy mountain.'

7 I will tell of the decree: The LORD said unto me: 'Thou art My son, This day have I begotten thee.
