New International Version (NIV) |
|
1 Why have nations tumultuously assembled? And do peoples meditate vanity?
|
1 Why do the nations conspire and the peoples plot in vain?
|
|
2 Station themselves do kings of the earth, And princes have been united together, Against Jehovah, and against His Messiah:
|
2 The kings of the earth take their stand and the rulers gather together against the LORD and against his Anointed One.
|
|
3 `Let us draw off Their cords, And cast from us Their thick bands.'
|
3 "Let us break their chains," they say, "and throw off their fetters."
|
|
4 He who is sitting in the heavens doth laugh, The Lord doth mock at them.
|
4 The One enthroned in heaven laughs; the Lord scoffs at them.
|
|
5 Then doth He speak unto them in His anger, And in His wrath He doth trouble them:
|
5 Then he rebukes them in his anger and terrifies them in his wrath, saying,
|
|
6 `And I -- I have anointed My King, Upon Zion -- My holy hill.'
|
6 "I have installed my King on Zion, my holy hill."
