Psalms 2:1-6

The Bible in Basic English BBE

1 Why are the nations so violently moved, and why are the thoughts of the people so foolish?

2 The kings of the earth have taken their place, and the rulers are fixed in their purpose, against the Lord, and against the king of his selection, saying,

3 Let their chains be broken, and their cords taken from off us.

4 Then he whose seat is in the heavens will be laughing: the Lord will make sport of them.

5 Then will his angry words come to their ears, and by his wrath they will be troubled:

6 But I have put my king on my holy hill of Zion.

New International Version NIV

3 “Let us break their chains and throw off their shackles.”

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

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