1 Why do the nations rage, And the people plot a vain thing?
1 Why do the nations conspireand the peoples plot in vain?
2 The kings of the earth set themselves, And the rulers take counsel together, Against the Lord and against His Anointed, saying,
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 bonds in pieces And cast away Their cords from us."
3 “Let us break their chains and throw off their shackles.”
4 He who sits in the heavens shall laugh; The Lord shall hold them in derision.
4 The One enthroned in heaven laughs; the Lord scoffs at them.
5 Then He shall speak to them in His wrath, And distress them in His deep displeasure:
5 He rebukes them in his anger and terrifies them in his wrath, saying,
6 "Yet I have set My King On My holy hill of Zion."
6 “I have installed my king on Zion, my holy mountain.”
