The Darby Translation DBY
New International Version NIV
1 Why are the nations in tumultuous agitation, and [why] do the peoples meditate a vain thing?
1
Why do the nations conspireand the peoples plot in vain?
2 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the princes plot together, against Jehovah and against his anointed:
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 asunder, and cast away their cords from us!
3
“Let us break their chains and throw off their shackles.”
4 He that dwelleth in the heavens shall laugh, the Lord shall have them in derision.
4
The One enthroned in heaven laughs; the Lord scoffs at them.
5 Then will he speak to them in his anger, and in his fierce displeasure will he terrify them:
5
He rebukes them in his anger and terrifies them in his wrath, saying,
6 And *I* have anointed my king upon Zion, the hill of my holiness.
6
“I have installed my king on Zion, my holy mountain.”
