Psalms 2:1-6

GNT

NIV

1 Why do the nations plan rebellion? Why do people make their useless plots?
1 Why do the nations conspireand the peoples plot in vain?
2 Their kings revolt, their rulers plot together against the Lord and against the king he chose.
2 The kings of the earth rise up and the rulers band together against the LORD and against his anointed, saying,
3 "Let us free ourselves from their rule," they say; "let us throw off their control."
3 “Let us break their chains and throw off their shackles.”
4 From his throne in heaven the Lord laughs and mocks their feeble plans.
4 The One enthroned in heaven laughs; the Lord scoffs at them.
5 Then he warns them in anger and terrifies them with his fury.
5 He rebukes them in his anger and terrifies them in his wrath, saying,
6 "On Zion, my sacred hill," he says, "I have installed my king."
6 “I have installed my king on Zion, my holy mountain.”
