Psalms 2:1-6

Common English Bible CEB

1 Why do the nations rant? Why do the peoples rave uselessly?

2 The earth's rulers take their stand; the leaders scheme together against the LORD and against his anointed one.

3 "Come!" they say. "We will tear off their ropes and throw off their chains!"

4 The one who rules in heaven laughs; my Lord makes fun of them.

5 But then God speaks to them angrily; then he terrifies them with his fury:

6 "I hereby appoint my king on Zion, my holy mountain!"

New International Version NIV

1 Why do the nations conspireand the peoples plot in vain?

2 The 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.”

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

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

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