Psalms 2:1-6

MSG

NIV

1 Why the big noise, nations? Why the mean plots, peoples?
1 Why do the nations conspireand the peoples plot in vain?
2 Earth-leaders push for position, Demagogues and delegates meet for summit talks, The God-deniers, the Messiah-defiers:
2 The kings of the earth rise up and the rulers band together against the LORD and against his anointed, saying,
3 "Let's get free of God! Cast loose from Messiah!"
3 “Let us break their chains and throw off their shackles.”
4 Heaven-throned God breaks out laughing. At first he's amused at their presumption;
4 The One enthroned in heaven laughs; the Lord scoffs at them.
5 Then he gets good and angry. Furiously, he shuts them up:
5 He rebukes them in his anger and terrifies them in his wrath, saying,
6 "Don't you know there's a King in Zion? A coronation banquet Is spread for him on the holy summit."
6 “I have installed my king on Zion, my holy mountain.”
